WHY WE SHOULD NOT THROW NUCLEAR WASTE INTO A VOLCANO?
- The volcanoes are not a closed system, they are not just giants buckets. Anything you throw in a volcano is going to leach back into the Earth, polluting ground water,disrupting ecosystems and distributing radioactive material far and wide in a completely uncontrolled way.
- The volcanoes are not hot enough to melt them and change the radioactive properties of the metals, so, we will have a radioactive volcano that it means that if the volcano erupts, the ecosystem near volcano will be destroyed, and it won't be just the magma also the radiation will make that part impossible for life.
- The radioactive metals are radioactive in an atomic level. In order to take out radioactivity you have to do it on an atomic level and the hit and pressure on a volcano isn't enough to carry out that changes. I mean, you can't burn individual atoms.
- If the volcano erupts with nuclear waste on it , the ash of the volcano will be radioactive, and when it reaches the atmosphere it could make lots of holes in the ozone layer and some layers of the atmosphere could disappear so life in Earth will disappear. This is one of the worst consequence if it isn't the worst but it is also one of the most improbable because it has to be a very, very big explosion.
We shouldn't throw nuclear waste into a volcano because if not, the Earth could finish like Venus, very contamined with an unbreatheable air, and a radioactive atmosphere and, yes, we will have water, but it will be contamined, so life won't be possible.
