Answer
The radioactive material after its use such as nuclear power generation, nuclear weapons production, and nuclear medicine is known as nuclear waste.
The nuclear waste obtained from laboratories, hospitals, scientific establishments or power plants must be first kept in thick casks and then they must be buried in the specially constructed deep underground stores. These underground stores must be far away from the populated areas.
