Tungsten alloy nuclear waste container is a container used for containing nuclear waste, and can shield the radiation of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste is the radioactive material that nuclear fuel becomes after it is used in a reactor. It looks accurately like the fuel that was fed into the reactor. But the contents aren't exactly the same since nuclear reactions have occurred. Before producing power, the fuel was mostly Uranium, oxygen and steel. Later, many Uranium atoms have break up into a variety of isotopes of almost all of the transition metals on periodic table of the elements.
Nuclear waste sometimes called spent fuel, it breaks down very slowly, so remains dangerously radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. When it first comes out of the reactor, it is so toxic that if you stood within several metres of it while it was unshielded, you would absorb a lethal radioactive dose within a few seconds and would die of acute radiation sickness within a few days. Hence the material of the nuclear waste container is important. Tungsten alloy nuclear waste container has great shielding performance so that it can shield the radiation of nuclear waste.
Tungsten alloy nuclear waste container is made of tungsten alloy material.Because the density of tungsten alloy can reach very high, so the tungsten alloy nuclear waste container has great radiation shielding capability. And the tungsten alloy has good machinability, good corrosion resistance and high strength. Moreover, compared with lead or depleted uranium, tungsten alloy is more acceptable in this case, for it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly material.
