The handling of nuclear waste energy through nuclear plants has subsequently received considerable attention. Based on how they handled as well as disposed of, radioactive contaminants are separated into four categories: Nuclear waste and radioactive energy. The most commonly recognized method of disposing of reduced solid wastes has been surface land burial. Soil and geologic characteristics of possible disposal and storage locations must always be evaluated when analyzing the environmental effects of nuclear waste disposal. Clay mineralogy has played an important role in radiological waste disposal systems, both in terms of application and basic research. Clays and clay minerals like in situlithologic components and built barriers, offer advantageous radioactive-waste deployment properties. Because of their increased strength, endurance, and low permeability, they are viable options for retaining most natural and manmade long radioactive particles across contamination or intended disposal locations. The following issues are discussed in this review: Source-term categorization, as well as current and proposed waste transfer research methods for low-level waste products as well as high-level pollutants; selected elemental composition of clay minerals appropriate to build and develop character traits, cementation, as well as impervious boundary components; as well as clay’s use in ongoing and prospective waste disposal practices.
