The most common form of radioactive waste is a filter sock, a mesh tube resembling a sandbag through which fracking water is pumped before it's injected back into the earth. Tank and pipeline sludge are also radioactive. Picture taken January 27, 2015. REUTERS/Andrew Cullen (UNITED STATES - Tags: ENERGY POLITICS)
