Question: What is plutonium reprocessing? Why is it a big environmental issue?

Answer: Plutonium is the highly radioactive chemical element produced from uranium by nuclear plants. Plutonium can be reprocessed and used again in nuclear plants or in other destinations, like the making of nuclear bombs. Plutonium reprocessing nowadays, however, is done only in some countries like France, Russia and Britain and the countries that have nuclear plants, like Japan, Australia, etc., send their atomic waste by ship to those plutonium reprocessing centers. Besides the inherent risks of the storage of nuclear waste, plutonium reprocessing brings the risks of the transport of radioactive material across the oceans. The "nuclear ships" often travel near the coast of many countries posing danger to their populations.
