<onlyinclude>The term '''nuclear waste''' is often used to refer to [[spent fuel|spent nuclear fuel]]. This term is general, as there are many different types of nuclear waste, but refers to any [[radioactive]] waste substance that is produced from industrial processes, including [[nuclear power plant]]s.</onlyinclude> Nuclear waste is also produced at hospitals and other medical facilities.<ref name="RE2">Jeff C.

Spent nuclear fuel is specifically high level waste, but it is the waste that many think of. There are many different grades of nuclear waste. Generally, the more radioactive the waste, the less there is of it. The categories of waste are:

*'''[[Exempt waste]]''': This type of waste is also referred to as ''very low level waste''. This type of waste is any material that has so little [[radioactivity]], and thus poses no threat. Waste of this kind includes concrete from decommissioned nuclear power plant buildings.<ref name="WNA">World Nuclear Association. (July 24, 2015). ''Radioactive Waste Management'' [Online]. Available: http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Nuclear-Fuel-Cycle/Nuclear-Wastes/Radioactive-Waste-Management/</ref>
*'''[[Low level waste]]''': This type of waste is generated by facilities that use radioactive [[isotope]]s. This includes the nuclear power industry, but also includes medical facilities (such as hospitals or radiology clinics) that use [[medical isotope]]s to assess and treat diseases like cancer.<ref name="RE2"/> The radioactivity from low level waste is far less intense than from spent fuel, but the [[volume]] is much greater.<ref name="WNA"/>
*'''[[Intermediate level waste]]''': This waste has sufficient radiation that it requires shielding and needs to be handled more carefully than low level waste. There is much less intermediate level waste than low level waste. This type of waste includes the [[metal]] around the [[fuel pellet]]s if the fuel is [[fuel reprocessing|reprocessed]].<ref name="WNA"/>
*'''[[High level waste]]''': This waste is the used fuel and the material that has been drawn out of the used nuclear fuel.<ref name="WNA"/>

Exempt waste, as the name implies, isn't monitored as radioactive waste, but the rest of the types are. Different levels of waste have different laws proscribing how each level is to be handled.
