Short-Lived Nuclear Waste

Short-lived nuclear waste is a class of nuclear waste known for having an estimated average half-life that is relatively short, usually because the constituent radioisotopes are fission products. There are 7 sub-classes of this type of waste, one for each type of element that it derived from, those being uranium-233, uranium-235, neptunium-237, plutonium-239, plutonium-240, plutonium-241, americium-242m, and schrabidium-326. It can be placed into a nuclear waste disposal drum to decay and get different products.

It is pyrophoric when not decayed. Americium-242m type is unobtainable and unusable at the moment.

Production

(All types are extracted from spent fuel using a SILEX.)

Uranium-233 type is from highly enriched uranium-233 fuel.
Uranium-235 type comes from medium enriched uranium, NU, MOX, and eighly enriched uranium-235 fuel.
Neptunium-237 type comes from medium and highly enriched neptunium-237 fuel.
Plutonium-239 type comes from MOX, low enriched plutonium-239, medium enriched plutonium-239, and highly enriched plutonium-239 fuel.
Plutonium-240 type comes from MOX, LEPu-239, and MEPu-239 fuel.
Plutonium-241 type comes from highly enriched plutonium-241 fuel.
Americium-242m type is unobtainable at the moment.
Schrabidium-326 type comes from any schrabidium fuel, in the appropriate quantities given the Sa-326 proportion in the fuel.
