| A serious problem associated with the operation of nuclear power plants is the disposal of radioactive waste. Radioactive waste includes spent nuclear fuel, equipment of nuclear power plants that have served their life. Disposal of radioactive waste is carried out at special factories where waste processing is carried out. Highly radioactive long-lived fission products of uranium nuclei are placed in small capsules, which are placed in intermediate storage with subsequent long-term reliable placement underground.
