Radioactive wastes, must for the protection of mankind be
stored or disposed in such a manner that isolation from the
biosphere is assured until they have decayed to innocuous
levels. If this is not done, the world could face severe
physical problems to living species living on this planet.
Some atoms can disintegrate spontaneously. As they do,
they emit ionizing radiation. Atoms having this property are
called radioactive. By far the greatest number of uses

The most promising
outlines in the near future are; 'the absorbtion of
montmorillonite clay' which is comprised of natural clays
that have a good capacity for chemical exchange of cations
and can store radioactive wastes, 'fused salt calcination'
which will neutralize the wastes and 'high temperature
processing'. Even though man has made many breakthroughs in
the processing, storage and disintegration of radioactive
wastes, there is still much work ahead to render the wastes
absolutely harmless.
