The storage of radioactive waste is an important problem in the nuclear industry. One problem that scientists Consider a 50.0-gallon metal canister of diameter 22.0 inches filled with a radioactive waste possessing a efficient of volume expansion of 9.60 x1o-(°C). This canister will be filled at room temperature (23.0C) and lowered deep into the Earth (where temperatures can reach 145'C) for storage. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the metal is 4.10 x10s (c) how much waste will spill over the top if the lid becomes loose? Number gallons
