Transuranic waste consists primarily of discarded items such as gloves, glassware, tools, debris, building parts and rags contaminated with plutonium during weapons production. Though less radioactive than other waste, transuranic waste isotopes remain radioactive for a long period of time and must therefore be handled separately from other wastes.
