The waste product is radioactive waste and there are many different kinds. Four of the main kinds are exempt waste & very low-level waste, low-level waste, intermediate-level waste, and high-level waste. Exempt waste and very low-level waste is nuclear waste that is considered not to be harmful to people or the environment that was produced by demolition of old nuclear power plants, example of this are concrete, plaster, bricks, metal, and piping etc. Low-level waste comes from hospitals and industries and is rags, tools, clothing, filters, etc that contain small amounts of short-lived radioactivity. Intermediate-level waste is compromised resins, chemical sludges, metal fuel scaffolding, and contaminated materials from reactor commissionings that has a higher amount of radioactivity and needs some shielding. High-level waste is the fission products and transuranic elements that are highly radioactive and hot, so it needs cooling and shielding.

Nuclear energy is transported in three different types of packages. There is type A, type B, and type C. Type A is used to hold small and medium-activity materials such as nuclear fuel materials, and medical or industrial radioisotopes which are isotopes that are radioactive and used for industrial or medical purposes. Type A are designed not to break and spill contents during accidents. Type B is used to hold high-level waste, used fuel, and MOX(¨a type of fuel used in nuclear reactors¨  - dictionary.com) fuel. It is designed to withstand gamma and neutron radiation and can range anywhere from the size of a drum to the size of a truck. Type C is used to hold small high-activity materials. Type C is the package that is typically used in airplanes and so it is designed to survive an airplane crash at cruising altitude (39,000 feet).

I believe that nuclear energy is renewable because nuclear energy is literally energy that is formed when two different elements are combined which is nuclear fusion. Or nuclear energy can be formed from nuclear fission which is when one element is taken apart into two different elements. So it could go on in a continuous loop for a long time if not forever.

Dictionary.com states that, ¨Nuclear energy is the energy released by nuclear fusion or fission.¨
