Watt

The watt, symbolized as 'W', is the unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion. In electrical terms, one watt is equivalent to one joule per second, quantifying how much energy an electrical device consumes or produces over time. Understanding watts is essential for designing and operating electrical systems efficiently, as it helps in calculating energy usage and costs.

Electrical appliances and devices are rated in watts to indicate their power consumption, which is crucial for selecting the right equipment and ensuring the electrical system can handle the load. For example, a 60-watt light bulb consumes 60 joules of energy every second it is lit. This measurement is fundamental in energy management, allowing consumers and professionals to make informed decisions about energy use and conservation.

Waste

Biomass waste and Non-biomass waste. Refers to radioactive wastes. High-level waste (HLW) is highly radioactive material arising from nuclear fission. It can be recovered from reprocessing spent fuel, though some countries regard spent fuel itself as HLW. It requires very careful handling, storage and disposal. Low-level waste (LLW) is mildly radioactive material usually disposed of by incineration and burial.
