Plutonium is a heavy, radioactive, man-made, metallic element used in the production of nuclear energy.

This waste includes uranium, plutonium, and other highly radioactive elements made during fission. Most of the radioactive isotopes in high level waste emit large amounts of radiation and have extremely long half-lives (some longer than …
