But that still may not be enough to have them see you as a responsible cardholder. A steady job with a great income helps, but they could still find you too great a risk. Don't get discouraged just yet, Kat. Unsecured cards may not be for you right now, but there are fantastic alternatives. Or there will be, after the discharge date passes. You'll want your reports to show zero balances, as that will expand your borrowing ability.
nuclear waste. Any radioactive material produced as an unwanted byproduct of the extraction, conversion, enrichment, fabrication, or use of radionuclides in nuclear reactors.
Nuclear power plants generate electricity by splitting uranium to produce heat and drive turbines. After about two years uranium is considered used up, or âspent,â and replaced with fresh fuel. The spent fuel and high-level waste are usually stored at the reactor in special pools, beneath at least 20 feet of water. Those pools, however, are filling up and will reach their limit by 2015, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which has led to storage of waste in dry casks at reactor sites.
