**//__How does nuclear energy get disposed? __//**  Nuclear energy is energy that holds nuclei of atoms. The nuclei or nucleus is the middle part of the atom that nuclei are in the atoms of uranium. That is why uranium is used as the fuel of nuclear energy. Uranium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789,and is the heaviest metal.

 Nuclear waste is both good and bad for modern technology. It is toxic and an incidental product of nuclear medicine, nuclear weapons, and nuclear power plants. That demonstrates our lack of ability to control our own technology. The nuclear waste can take the form of the different states of matter, gas, and solid, even liquid.

 The reactors in the nuclear power plant use the fuel from the clay like, uranium dioxide pellets that are sealed in metal rods. After when the uranium is gone from the metal rods, they take it out and do a chemical process to take out some of the uranium that might be left in, which now is liquid waste. Then the rods are put near pools of water beside the nuclear power plant until a new permanent location if found.

 The waste can create radiation lasting up to a few hours to hundreds and thousands of years. If the waste is disposed inappropriately it can destroy the environment, ruin the air, water, and condition of the soil.

**//__How does nuclear energy get stored? __//**  Enrico Fermi who was an Italian physicist. He was best known for the development of Chicago Pile-1, which was the first Nuclear Reactor. He also discovered Nuclear Fission. Nuclear Fission is a Nuclear Reaction, if nuclei or nucleus splits or impacts with another particle, it will release a massive amount of energy.

It is not stored. Nuclear Energy cannot be stored in fact, it has to be used directly, after a nuclear fission, you cannot leave it for later use, unless it is stored in Spent Pools. However, Nuclear Energy is stored in big steel containers which are put in a Spent Fuel Pool at nuclear Energy Plants. Spent Fuels are just like swimming pools, but 40 feet deeper.The Spent Fuels are used for storage of the Nuclear Energy after taken out from the reactors.

 Nuclear Reactors are many kinds machinery, instruments and tools that maintain and control Nuclear reactions for the production of Energy(Electricity).
