Waste from nuclear power plants can remain active for hundreds of thousands of years. Currently, much of the radioactive waste from nuclear power plants has been stored at the power plant. Due to space constraints, eventually the radioactive waste will need to be relocated. Plans have been proposed to bury the radioactive waste contained in casks in the Yucca Mountains in Nevada. There are several issues with burying the radioactive waste. Waste would be transported in large trucks. In the event of an accident, the radioactive waste could possibly leak. Another issue is uncertainty about whether the casks will leak after the waste is buried. The current amount of radioactive waste requiring long-term storage would fill the Yucca Mountains and new sites would need to be found to bury future radioactive waste. There is no current solution to deal with the issue of radioactive waste. Some scientists feel that the idea of building more nuclear power plants and worrying about dealing with the waste later has the potential of a dangerous outcome.]]> 2018-03-01 15:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/236945578 Using Radioactive Tracers In Our World hudelben0001 https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/236946489 You may have never heard of a radioactive tracer before but it is used often to help people in the medical field. Radioactive tracers are used to help locate cancer in somebody and identify how big it is.Tracers can also be used to treat cancer and require a small amount of substance to use. ]]> 2018-03-01 15:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/236946489 Nuclear .VS.

Nuclear energy is not necessarily a clean energy source. The effects nuclear energy have on the environment pose serious concerns that need to considered, especially before the decision to build additional nuclear power plants is made.]]> 2018-03-01 15:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/236957752 Nuclear Reactions involved in using Radioactive Tracing harrieri0001 https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/236962340 ~ It detects where cancer cells are, and if there are any bone disorders.
~ It only takes a small dose of it and if you over use it then many problems could arise.
~ It's injected into the patient's bloodstream and the Gamma Rays can be seen from the outside of the body.
~ The Isotopes have short half-lives, so it doesn't take long for it to leave the body.

The radiation used in the tracer has to be stored in a safe place away from people. Once the tracer is put into somebody they need to be placed in isolation until the radiation leaves the body. The radiation used also has a short half life and can ionize cells in the body.]]> 2018-03-02 14:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/237421353 Work Cited hudelben0001 https://padlet.com/hudelben0001/qwml6q6djttk/wish/237427904 https://getrevising.co.uk/grids/radioactive-tracers

I think that using Radioactive Tracing is a good thing because it’s easy, safe, and quick. However if you use too much of it, it can cause lots of problems. There are also Gamma rays that can be detected from outside the body.

Evidence from group member #2:

I think it’s better because it has a lot of good things that it is used for. Most of the stuff it’s used for is good for people. Also it is for the U.S. army.

Evidence from group member #3: Using radioactive tracing is better than other methods because it is safe and clean. It also takes a very small amount of tracer to do and it is accurate at tracking the bodies internal organs.

Evidence from group member #4:
