Nuclear energy is an efficient energy source. Nuclear fuel has the advantages of high energy density and convenient transportation and storage. After decades of tortuous development, nuclear energy has been well utilized in many ways, especially in the field of nuclear power generation. However, as the number of nuclear power plants continues to increase, the problem of nuclear waste disposal is becoming more and more serious. Nuclear waste disposal is a complex process. For nuclear waste treatment, people initially only temporarily deposit these nuclear wastes or dump them directly. However, as people’s awareness of nuclear waste increases, and the huge potential threat of nuclear waste is known, it is necessary to analyze the current characteristics of nuclear waste and its pollution status in order to find a better nuclear waste treatment and management method.
