And it would be no worse than the ash.

But legally ash isn't classed as radioactive waste (though it is) and
anything out of a nuclear power station is (though most of it is barely
radioactive at all)


Only high level waste needs special treatment, and thats reporocessed to
make more fuel.


Can the ash be safely used as an aggregate to be used for building
infrastructure such as roads and bridges etc:?
If it is mixed with cement and stone as if it was sand would it become inert
and would the end concrete be as strong as concrete made with sand?
I am genuinely curious about this.

It will still be somewhat radioactive, but then so are smoke alarms.

Here seems to be a balanced study.
