Introduction Nuclear power plants produce more than 20 percent of the electricity used in the United States [Murray‚ 1989]. Unfortunately‚ nuclear fission‚ the process used to create this large amount energy‚ creates significant amounts of high level radioactive waste. More than 30‚000 metric tons of nuclear waste have arisen from U.S. commercial reactors as well as high level nuclear weapons waste‚ such as uranium and plutonium [Roush‚ 1995]. Because of the build-up of this waste‚ some power plants will

The release of nuclear waste from its reactor could easily cause a lot of diseases like acute radiation sickness. The injection of nuclear waste to underground water causes water pollution and could contribute
