    Extractions: Welcome to the web site for the Committee on Transportation of Radioactive Waste. This study, which is a joint collaboration between the National Research Council's Board on Radioactive Waste Management and Transportation Research Board , is examining the risks of transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in the United States and the associated technical and societal challenges. An expert committee of 16 members has been appointed by the National Research Council to undertake this study and expects to issue its final report in early 2005. This website contains information about this study, including the charge to the committee (statement of task), committee-member biographies, information about upcoming committee meetings, presentations at past committee meetings, and documents and comments submitted to the committee from outside sources. The committee is interested in receiving comments on this study, which can be submitted using the feedback button. All comments submitted to the committee will be posted on the website and placed in the committee's public access file. The committee has established an e-mail notification list to provide timely information about upcoming meetings and other noteworthy events.

    http://dels.nas.edu/radwaste/task.html
    
    Extractions: The principal task of this study will be to develop a high-level synthesis of key technical and societal issues for SNF/HLW transport and to identify technical and policy options for addressing these issues and managing transportation risk. The principal focus of this study will be on the transportation of SNF and HLW in the United States, but the study will draw on international experiences as well as experiences with transporting other waste types. The study will address and provide findings and recommendations on the following four questions: 1. What are the principal risks for transporting (including container handling, modal transfers, and conveyance) radioactive waste, and how do they compare with other societal risks? To what extent have these risks been addressed by previous analyses? 2. At present, what are the principal technical and societal concerns for transporting radioactive waste? To what extent have these concerns been addressed, and what additional work is needed? 3. What are likely to be the principal technical and societal concerns for radioactive waste transportation in the future, especially over the next two decades? 4. What options are available to address these concerns, for example, options involving changes to planned transportation routes, modes, procedures, or other limitations/restrictions; or options for improving the communication of transportation risks to decision makers and the public?

    Extractions: The Gulf of the Farallones region, including the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, lies offshore of San Francisco. The region's varied habitatsfrom coastal wetlands to deep ocean watersupport a rich diversity of marine life and provide nurseries and spawning grounds for commercially valuable fish and crab. Proximity to a major population center makes the Gulf of the Farallones region vulnerable to environmental pressures. One such pressuredisposal of wastewas the subject of a recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey, which sought to answer two questions: To investigate these questions, the USGS cooperated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the NOAA Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary,

93. The National Radioactive Waste Dump
    The National radioactive waste Dump. We are putting you on notice , directing you, telling you, Do not dump that radioactive waste on any of our land.  
    http://www.anawa.org.au/sa/nationaldump.html
    
    Extractions: LUCAS HEIGHTS REACTOR AUSTRALIA SOUTH AUSTRALIA The campaign against the Federal government proposal to dump the nation's radioactive waste in South Australia has become truly mainstream, with everyone from the State government to the commercial media, anti-nuclear and indigenous groups united in opposition. The national nuclear waste dump is a critical component of the Federal government's plan for a more heavily nuclearised Australia. Waste management is the achilles heel of the nuclear industry worldwide, and what is happening here is a microcosm of the global situation. The government needs to get rid of the waste from existing nuclear operations before an expansion can occur; it has chosen indigenous land as a convenient place to dump the waste, and is now pulling out all the stops to get its way. Except that, locally and globally, the community is standing together to demand a saner course of action. The site options for a low-level dump have been in the public domain for some time, with a handful of sites across South Australia and one at Jackson in WA on the shortlist. The frontrunner for the last few years has been Billa Kalina, an area the size of Tasmania in central South Australia. This is Anti-Kirinya/Umoona Aboriginal country, and the local people have led a fierce resistance to plans for the dump.

    Extractions: Primer on Radioactive Waste What is radiation? Radiation is energy in the form of high speed particles or electromagnetic waves. It can be ionizing or non-ionizing ( see an illustration ). Non-ionizing radiation lacks the energy to alter atoms (e.g., visible light and microwaves). Ionizing radiation has enough energy to change normal cellular functioning. Ionizing radiation may cause cells to die or transform into a cancerous cell. Ionizing radiation is categorized by its strength or energy level into three main categories: Alpha particles , although the most densely ionizing, are the weakest form of ionizing radiation. They can travel a few inches through the air but can be stopped by something as thin as a sheet of paper. This means that cells can be protected or shielded from damage by alpha particles by clothing. Even your skin will protect you from damage from alpha particles. However, if alpha particles are inhaled or ingested or get into a cut on the skin, they can cause damage to cells. As alpha particles decay inside the body, the surrounding cells absorb the radiation. Beta particles contain more energy than alpha particles. These particles are able to travel several feet through the air, but can be stopped with denser materials such as wood, glass or aluminum foil.

    Article in the Atlantic Monthly about long term storage of radioactive waste beneath the ocean floor.  
    http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/96oct/seabed/seabed.htm
    
    Extractions: I N 1976 a giant coring device mounted to a ship plunged repeatedly into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, three miles below the surface, bringing up 100-foot-long tubes of mud and clay with the consistency of peanut butter. The primeval muck told a tale of geologic serenity. Sediment records from the cores indicate that the region roughly 600 miles north of Hawaii and spanning an area four times the size of Texas has been tranquil for 65 million years, unperturbed by volcanic activity or by shifting of the earth's tectonic plates. Charles Hollister, a geologist and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, saw even more when he gazed at the thick dark ooze. He saw what might prove to be the perfect place to sequester our high-level nuclear waste the most potent and intensely radioactive by-products of military or civilian enterprise.
