Quincy's autopsies of the first three bodies show they died of natural causes. It seems that the warm and dry attic was perfect for preserving the corpses. But they're not just bodies-they are perfectly mummified bodies. Soon, the girlfriend makes a discovery-a couple bodies in the attic. She loves the place-Quincy just thinks they're all a bunch of weirdos. The show begins with Quincy's girlfriend (one of about 42974 during the course of the series) moving into a weird old house filled with eccentrics. I really think the show could have been much better had they cleaned up the script a bit. Used fuel is stored at the reactor site in reinforced, leak-proof cooling pools for 7 to 10 years, and then can be transferred to dry storage in concrete canisters or silos."No Way to Treat a Body" is an interesting episode of "Quincy" but it's also very highly flawed-with a plot that often makes no sense and too strong a desire to be quirky and goofy. Currently, this waste is stored in shielded above-ground or in-ground storage silos at licensed waste facilities. Typically, long-lived low-level waste is stored above ground at licensed facilities in bins and bags. The CNSC and the International Atomic Energy Agency monitor used nuclear fuel. The CNSC inspects and licenses all intermediate waste management facilities. ![]() Low-level waste is monitored at licensed facilities that are inspected by the CNSC. Longer-lived waste may need isolation for up to a few hundred years. Some short-lived waste can decay within hours or days and then be disposed of like regular waste. It then takes about 1 million years to decrease to the original level of natural uranium. The radioactivity of irradiated, used nuclear fuel starts high but decreases quickly (by 99% in the first 10 years). This waste generally contains long-lived radionuclides that require isolation beyond several hundred years (300 to 500 years). Because the decay of natural uranium is so slow, it can take billions of years to reach the earth’s normal background level of radiation. CNSC inspectors monitor mine sites during operation and long after closure. Waste rock is stored in piles on the surface. Tailings are placed back into the mined-out pit or tailing containment facilities. Tailings have the consistency of fine sand and waste rock, which is simply gravel and broken up rock. Is primarily used nuclear fuel, along with small amounts of waste that generate significant heat and radioactivity. ![]() Contains enough long-lived radionuclides to require isolation and containment. Is more radioactive than clearance levels and exemption quantities allow. Used nuclear fuel that is still significantly radioactive. Refurbishment waste, ion-exchange resins and some radioactive sources used in radiation therapy. Used equipment, paper, cable, clothing, decommissioned parts, even mops. Nuclear power plants, prototype and research reactors, and test facilities. ![]() Nuclear power plants, prototype and research reactors, test facilities, and radioisotope manufacturers and users. Nuclear power plants, research reactors, test facilities, radioisotope manufacturers or users, uranium refining and conversion, and nuclear fuel fabrication. What is radioactive waste? 1 Uranium mine and mill waste 2 Low-level radioactive waste 3 Intermediate-level radioactive waste 4 High-level radioactive waste Includes tailings and waste rock generated by the mining and milling of uranium ore. Classes of radioactive waste are organized according to the containment and isolation required to ensure safety in the short and long term and take into consideration the risk to the health and safety of humans and the environment. There are four classes of radioactive waste in Canada. Radioactive waste is any liquid, gas or solid that contains a radioactive nuclear substance and for which there is no foreseeable use. Each type of waste is described – where it comes from, what it looks like, how it is stored, who monitors it, and how long it will remain radioactive. What is Radioactive Waste? Information on the four classes of radioactive waste, which are as follows: uranium mine and mill waste, low-level radioactive waste, intermediate-level radioactive waste, and high-level radioactive waste.
