Question

which of the following would be considered low - level radioactive waste? select one: o a. spent nuclear fuel rods o b. clothing worn by those who work in nuclear industries o c. transuranic nuclear waste o d. waste from the decommissioning of nuclear power plants

Explanation:

Low - level radioactive waste includes items that have been exposed to radioactive materials during nuclear operations. Clothing worn by nuclear industry workers can become contaminated with small amounts of radioactive substances and is considered low - level waste. Spent nuclear fuel rods and transuranic nuclear waste are high - level waste due to high levels of radioactivity. Waste from decommissioning of nuclear power plants can also be high - level or intermediate - level depending on the nature of the materials.

Answer:

B. clothing worn by those who work in nuclear industries
