Endnotes 4.0 Dumping Radioactive waste has been dumped in the ocean ever since the Soviet Union started testing their first nuclear-powered submarine at the shipyard of Severodvinsk in 1959. The dumped waste arises from operation of both nuclear-powered submarines and civil nuclear icebreakers. In all, the former Soviet Union, now Russia, has dumped more than twice as much radioactivity as other countries having dumped radioactive waste at sea. [ ] The 12 other nations having dumped radioactive waste into the ocean are: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South-Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, Great Britain, and USA.

103. Radioactive Waste Subject radioactive waste. I have read that radioactive waste can be treated prior to disposal to reduce its lethality or halflife. http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/ASK/radwaste.html

Reply to ASK-AN-EARTH-SCIENTIST Subject: Radioactive waste I have read that radioactive waste can be "treated" prior to disposal to reduce its lethality or half-life. What is this treatment process, how much does it reduce the lethality or half-life of the waste in question and is it "theoretically" possible to completely neutralize radioactive isotopes so they are harmless right from a reactor? the radiation it emits the parent or daughter elements, which themselves can be toxic for "chemical" reasons. NO . But it is possible to minimize their toxicity using a combination of the techniques listed above. Unfortunately, reactors usually produce a complex array of radioactive nuclides and what treatments work for some may not work for others in the mixture. This means the material will require potentially lenghty and expensive chemical purification steps. Because present policy in the US and around the world does not require in most cases the best-possible reduction of toxicity, particularly in cases where it would be expensive, the industries creating and/or using these materials typically take more minimal aproaches to waste containment and treatment.

Search Site map Terms of use UKAEA is continually up-rating its facilities for the treatment and storage of radioactive waste. UKAEA policy is to minimise new arisings of radioactive waste. We assess all the options for managing our wastes to represent the best balance of environmental, safety, economic and stakeholder considerations. Radioactive wastes are classified in the following categories: High Level Waste (HLW) Highly radioactive, heat generating waste. HLW arises from the reprocessing of spent fuel. It represents a small proportion of the stored wastes Dounreay is the only UKAEA site with HLW. The strategy is to vitrify the waste in a new purpose built store on the site until a national disposal facility becomes available. Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) Intermediate radioactivity, and not heat generating. ILW arises from decommissioned reactors and research facilities There is no national disposal facility for ILW. UKAEA's policy is to condition the solid and liquid ILW for long-term safe storage until a disposal facility becomes available.

The 11 September terrorist attacks are changing the debate and making safety issues more immediate. Yucca Mountain , adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, is the proposed location for a nuclear waste repository When Abe Van Luik talks about the enormously complex scientific and political issues that envelop the Department of Energy's multibillion nuclear waste repository development program at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, he remembers a time when the project seemed so simple. Yucca Mountain is a remote, harsh place that is as hot, dry, and uninviting as nearby Death Valley. And it stands hard by the Nevada Test Site, where nuclear bombs were detonated underground. What better place to bury thousands of tons of highly radioactive nuclear waste?

The Hazardous Waste Regulation and Tax Policy Task Force, in its last year of a two-year study on waste issues, met Tuesday at the state Capitol to discuss whether the state should open its borders to shipments of "hotter" waste that would be disposed of at Envirocare's landfill in Tooele County. Senate Minority Whip Ron Allen, D-Tooele, was prepared to just say no, ending what has been a years-long debate. He suggested that the task force recommend to the 2005 Legislature not to allow Envirocare to take so-called "Class B and C wastes," which are primarily byproducts of decommissioned power plants and are thousands of times hotter in radioactivity than what is now at Envirocare. If the task force turns thumbs down on Envirocare's plan, it would not necessarily kill it outright. It would mean that Envirocare would have to wait until 2006 to come back for the Legislature's approval.

110. American Baptist Resolution On The Disposal Of Hazardous And Radioactive Wastes Resolution against nuclear waste adopted by the American Baptist Convention in 1980 and updated in 1982. http://www.abc-usa.org/resources/resol/radwaste.htm

AMERICAN BAPTIST RESOLUTION ON THE DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS AND RADIOACTIVE WASTES The problem of hazardous and radioactive wastes as we currently know it is of comparatively recent origin. The generation of long-lasting dangerous wastes began about forty years ago. At that time and for many years afterwards traditional methods of disposal of chemical wastes underground, on the land, in the air, in rivers or the sea were followed and were considered satisfactory. With the beginning of the nuclear age no plan existed for the disposal of high level radioactive wastes. In recent years the dangers of hazardous and radioactive waste disposal have become more and more visible. Some companies and governmental agencies have tried to dispose of their wastes in ways that would keep them from harming persons or the environment. Others have continued to follow practices which have proved dangerous. There is a serious difficulty in finding safe locations to store hazardous and radioactive wastes and insuring permanently safe disposal. American Baptists have stated that one human right is the "right to a secure and healthy environment, clean air, pure water and an earth that can nurture and support present and future generations." Beneath this statement is the Biblical revelation that God cares for the good of all, has delivered us from sin, and intends that we express love toward our neighbors, e.g., Exodus 3:7-10 and Phil. 2:1-11.

document.writeln(AAMB1); Wednesday, March 3, 2004 Radioactive waste will bypass Utah State's winters are too harsh for rail transport, DOE contractor says By Donna Kemp Spangler Deseret Morning News Despite efforts by some Utahns to woo radioactive waste shipments from Fernald, Ohio, the Department of Energy's contractor now says it has chosen a primary route through Arizona and New Mexico that doesn't pose the risk of Utah's harsh winters. Deseret Morning News graphic Two competing Utah proposals had hoped to persuade DOE's contractor Fluor Fernald to ship the waste by rail as a safer alternative, but they have been left out in the cold. Envirocare was the top choice to take the Fernald waste via rail but opposition to it prompted the company to dump its plans. So now the contractor says its only choice is the Nevada Test Site. Judd has now backed off on his plans to pursue the waste. "We're still pursuing a transfer facility," Judd said. "But we are not pursuing the Fernald waste at this time." Judd's partner, Stephen Bunn, had also proposed building a separate but similar facility in Beaver County near Milford. Bunn received approval for the proposal a year ago but has yet to build anything on the property. And Beaver County officials, although supportive of a transload facility, figure the proposal is dead.

AMERICAN BAPTIST RESOLUTION ON HAZARDOUS, TOXIC AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE The recognition of problems from all forms of hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste is of comparatively recent origin. Since the 1940s traditional methods of disposal of chemical waste underground, on the land, in the air, in the rivers or in the seas were followed and considered satisfactory. Even from the beginning of the nuclear age, plans once considered adequate for disposal of high level radioactive waste are questionable. The Bible provides us with a framework for analyzing the sinful nature of things and activities which pollute creation (Isaiah 24:5-6). Wholeness cannot come to creation unless we repent and turn away from wasteful lifestyles. The sinful state is not cause for hopeless despair. Jesus Christ redeemed us, and calls us to choose life as God's stewards (Romans 5:1-11; Romans 8:12-23; Luke 12:42-48). Through the power of God's spirit each person's life make a difference for good. We claim our responsibility, therefore, to participate in making decisions which affect the well-being of ourselves, our families, and the created order itself. The General Board of the American Baptist Churches calls on individuals, families, churches and communities to:

Printable text version Mail this to a friend April 20, 2004 Radioactive waste mounts at Test Site By Suzanne Struglinski suzanne@lasvegassun.com SUN WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON While the fight to keep high-level nuclear waste out of Nevada continues, two massive pits of low-level radioactive waste are already piling up at the Nevada Test Site, 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The Energy Department ships contaminated material known as "legacy waste" from former nuclear weapons plants across the country to the Test Site, which now holds about 29.7 million cubic feet of low-level waste, enough to fill almost 277 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Since October 1,287 shipments have come to the site, but the number of shipments vary from year to year. The program has been overshadowed by debate over the federal government's plan to ship high-level nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, which borders the Test Site. The types of waste in those plans are different. Nevada is spending millions of dollars to fight the plan to ship 77,000 tons of high-level waste used reactor fuel from commercial nuclear reactors and government sites to Yucca, which is 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. While fighting the Yucca Mountain plan, Nevada has tolerated most of the low-level shipments to the Test Site, until now.

117. Principles ARDT Principles of the Advocates for Responsible Disposal in Texas. It is essential that lowlevel radioactive waste be consolidated, properly packaged, monitored and ultimately disposed of in accordance with stringent federal and state safety and environmental standards. http://www.ardt.org/

P.O. Box 26767 Austin, Texas 78755-0767 Principles It is in the public interest of all citizens of Texas to have a safe, technologically sound system to permanently dispose of low-level radioactive waste. Low-level radioactive waste is generated as a result of beneficial activities such as air pollution free electric power production and other industrial applications as well as medical, diagnostic treatment, and research applications. Therefore, it is essential that low-level radioactive waste be consolidated, properly packaged, monitored and ultimately disposed of in accordance with stringent federal and state safety and environmental standards. While this waste has been safely managed and isolated for years, the federal and state governments have recognized that the existing disposal sites, now scheduled to be closed or restricted in access, need to be replaced with additional sites in individual states or groups of states. The Advocates for Responsible Disposal in Texas (ARDT) supports the State of Texas' efforts to identify, evaluate, and after thorough public input, establish a system that will manage and ultimately provide permanent disposal of low-level radioactive waste.

The EPA is considering a plan to allow "low-activity" radioactive waste to be disposed in dumps and landfills that are not licensed for or designed to contain it. This proposal, on which the EPA is now seeking comment, would permit certain radioactive wastes to be treated as if they were non-radioactive and exempted from standards designed to isolate and contain radiation and prevent the public from being exposed to radiation. The EPA teamed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to formulate the deregulatory rulemaking. Having the ability to dump nuclear waste in a regular community landfill would save the nuclear industry millions of dollars, since it costs less money to send nuclear waste to a regular community landfill where your household trash is sent than it does to properly store the waste in a licensed facility.
