Big salt deposits suggested as dumping place for nuclear wastes
The reasonable thing to do is to stop making nuclear wastes
Where On Earth Do We Put Spent Nuclear Fuel? Forbes, 29 Aug 13 If Nevada’s Harry Reid is right and Yucca Mountain is flattened, then what will happen to the nation’s 70,000-plus tons of nuclear waste? The Senate Majority Leader is adamant that such spent fuel from the country’s 102 nuclear plants will never find a permanent home in that area that is 90 miles outside of Las Vegas…….
Consider: the U.S. Department of Energy’s Waste Isolation Pilot Program (WIPP), a massive salt formation in southeastern New Mexico that has been accepting waste from nuclear weapons for 14 years. But it is not permitted to take in low-level spent fuel from commercial nuclear reactors.
As Conca explains, WIPP is 16 square miles of a 10,000-square mile, 2,000-foot thick salt layer. Those materials that are placed there are engulfed by the natural geology — the tightest rock on earth. The main obstacle, he adds, is the administrative changes necessary to allow the transport and disposal of spent fuel from the current interim sites to WIPP. Political resistance would also arise.
But massive salt formations are better repositories than the hard rock at Yucca Mountain, he insists, noting that rocks can fracture whereas salt does not. The best salt formations are in New Mexico and Texas.
Conca agrees that taking reprocessed nuclear fuel and using it in a nuclear power plant is less difficult than applying the same material to an atomic weapon. But WIPP changes the equation, he says, noting that, “there is so much uranium in the world that we don’t need to reprocess it. Mining the uranium is so much easier and so much cheaper than reprocessing it.”…..
Legally, Yucca Mountain remains a live topic but politically, it stands little chance of becoming permanent repository, especially because the Senate Majority Leader represents Nevada. But that debate over what to do with spent nuclear fuel has spawned some compelling ideas, some of which have been around for a while.
Reconciling the reprocessing fissures is likely to take decades. But broadening the use of massive salt deposits such as WIPP to include not just weapons-grade material but also radioactive fuel from commercial reactors would be an easier gulf to bridge.
Nuclear waste from France to be dumped in Mississippi?
Cottonmouth – Is Mississippi going to be storing France’s Nuclear Waste? http://yallpolitics.com/index.php/yp/post/35788/ 28 Aug 13, While Bryant and his entourage were having a good time in Paris sampling the French lifestyle, did they take a moment to consider how most of the lights are powered there? You may be surprised to find out it’s nuclear power. France generates about 75 percent of its electricity needs from nuclear power. Their nuclear waste has to go somewhere, right? Why not Mississippi?
During their trip to France, did Bryant and his MDA director negotiate a deal with the French government to house that country’s nuclear waste?
Representatives from the Mississippi Energy Institute noted that they know of communities, that they did not specify, which are interested in this project. Were they referring to communities in France instead of Mississippi?
Inherent dangers in Mississippi as a nuclear waste storage place
Reject nuclear waste storage http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130827/OPINION01/308270012/Reject-nuclear-waste-storage Aug. 26, 2013 Some ideas are so bad they don’t deserve consideration, and such is the case with the Mississippi Energy Institute’s proposal to build a permanent nuclear waste storage facility in Mississippi.
Yucca Mountain in Nevada was designated the nation’s nuclear waste repository in 1987, but federal funding for the project ended in 2010 after extreme political pressure was placed on Congress and the Obama administration. The pressure came from concerned citizens and activists who feared having the highly radioactive material shipped through their hometowns to the site.
The Energy Department continues to look for a new site, and in 2012, released a blue ribbon study outlining the urgency for determining a new geological repository to consolidate the nuclear waste that is currently being housed in temporary locations across the country.
While nuclear energy itself faces its share of controversy, we believe that it is a safe, viable energy source when properly monitored and maintained. The same could be argued about storing nuclear waste, but we feel doing so overlooks inherent dangers indirectly associated with making Mississippi a temporary or long-term storage facility. Spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors are the most radioactive material of nuclear waste. These rods produce 99 percent of the radiation from nuclear waste, even though they make up a minority of the actual volume of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can take anywhere from 100 years to thousands of years — in some cases 1 million years — to reach a point where it is no longer radioactive enough to pose a threat.
It’s the presence of such material — not to mention the transportation of it from all across the country to the Magnolia State — that has many people concerned. We tend to agree with those concerns. Despite the nation’s spotless record in transporting nuclear waste, we don’t want to become the destination for U.S. nuclear waste. It would take only one accident to do irreparable damage for decades or longer.
Of course, Mississippi becoming the consolidated geological dumping site for the nation’s nuclear waste is not something that will happen overnight. It would likely take a decade or longer for such a designation to be decided by the federal government. However, short-term storage can happen much sooner.
MEI wants to bring short-term storage of nuclear waste to Mississippi and use emerging technologies to develop a nuclear waste recycling program. Being able to recycle such material is better than burying it thousands of feet underground, and we support the research into such technologies. However, Mississippi does not have to become a short-term storage site for U.S. nuclear waste to conduct such studies.
The nuclear power plant in Port Gibson already stores nuclear waste. It, like other plants, has no place to send the waste for storage. Without a more permanent solution, Port Gibson and other facilities will face real issues. The Energy Department was right in 2012 to insist that the federal government move forward with deliberate speed in finding a permanent, national solution.
However, we hope that Gov. Phil Bryant and state lawmakers will politely remove Mississippi from any consideration — short-term or long-term — as a site to store the nuclear waste from across the country. Some risks are just too great, especially for returns that will not be fully realized for at least 15 years.
Republican Congressman Steven Palazzo opposes nuclear waste dump for Mississippi
Miss. nuclear waste plan sparks early opposition http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/08/26/3587346/miss-nuclear-waste-plan-sparks.html BY JEFF AMY ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. –– The Mississippi Energy Institute is pushing for more exploration of storing and reprocessing used nuclear fuel in Mississippi at the same time that one of the state’s congressmen is coming out against it.
Leaders of the institute, which promotes energy development, pitched ideas Monday to the state Senate Economic Development Committee. Jason Dean, who works for a unit of the Butler Snow law firm, says Mississippi should explore interim storage and reprocessing of fuel rods.
The Energy Institute also touts Mississippi’s “unique geologic salt domes.” That’s an echo of a proposal to entomb nuclear waste in the Richton salt dome that sparked public opposition starting in the 1980s.
Congressman Steven Palazzo, a Biloxi Republican who represents Richton, is voicing opposition. “Not now, not ever,” Palazzo says in a Monday statement.
Russia repeats offer to help Japan in the international crisis of Fukushima radiation
The idea of pumping water for cooling was never going to be anything but a “machine for generating radioactive water,”
Russia Offers Fukushima Cleanup Help as Tepco Reaches Out By Yuriy Humber & Jacob Adelman – Aug 25, 2013 Russia repeated an offer first made two years ago to help Japan clean up its accident-ravaged Fukushima nuclear station, welcoming Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501)’s decision to seek outside help.
As Tokyo Electric pumps thousands of metric tons of water through the wrecked Fukushima station to cool its melted cores, the tainted run-off was found to be leaking into groundwater and the ocean. The approach to cooling and decommissioning the station will need to change and include technologies developed outside of Japan if the cleanup is to succeed, said Vladimir Asmolov, first deputy director general of Rosenergoatom, the state-owned Russian nuclear utility.
“In our globalized nuclear industry we don’t have national accidents, they are all international,” Asmolov said. Since Japan’s new government took over in December, talks on cooperating between the two countries on the Fukushima cleanup have turned “positive” and Russia is ready to offer its assistance, he said by phone from Moscow last week.

Whingeing about nuclear wastes, (but still not stopping making them)
the best plan is to just stop making the stuff
inaction is no longer an option. Twelve states, including California, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, have banned the construction of new nuclear plants until the waste problem is resolved. The byproducts of electricity production and the manufacture of nuclear weapons cannot stay forever in scores of de facto repositories. The public has a right to an efficient and safe long-term waste storage system.
U.S. must commit to permanent, safe disposal of nuclear waste NJ.com By James McGovern 26 Aug 13If someone had suggested 30 years ago that electricity users would be contributing billions of dollars to a government trust fund — and getting nothing in return — the idea would have been dismissed as fantasy.
But this is not made up. It’s really happening, and there’s a possibility it will continue indefinitely unless an effort is made to put a stop to it……..
Here in New Jersey, we have paid more than $665 million into the waste fund — and the money keeps flowing. Nationally, the payments exceed $35.7 billion — and they are growing at a rate of $300 million each year.
What’s more, the Department of Energy was legally obligated to take possession of the used fuel rods no later than 1998, but the used fuel remains where it always has been, in engineered water pools and concrete-and-steel casks at nuclear plants. Reactors such as Salem 1 and 2, Hope Creek and Oyster Creek in New Jersey were not designed to hold used fuel indefinitely. Rather, their mission is electricity production for homes and industry.

Legal complications surround the issue of Yucca nuclear waste dump proposal
As the court concedes, this leaves open a number of future questions: What will the Energy Department do next, as it continues to attempt to abandon its Yucca application? What if the NRC’s remaining $11 million fund runs out, and Congress fails to appropriate any more money? Furthermore, the NRC might decide to comply with its decision deadline by simply rejecting the Energy Department’s application
The D.C. Circuit Goes Nuclear AUG 23, 2013 • BY ADAM J. WHITE To write about the D.C. Circuit this week is to join a much broader discussion about the court’s role in American law and policy…….In a case titled In re Aiken County, the court took the extraordinary step of ordering the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to continue reviewing the Energy Department’s proposal for a federal nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
I say “extraordinary” not because the court overstepped its bounds, but because the case presents truly rare questions of the D.C. Circuit’s role at the intersection of congressional power, executive duty, agency discretion, and judicial responsibility.
Dangers in removing Fukushima’s spent nuclear fuel rods
Japanese gamble Armageddon in Last Ditch Fukushima Effort, Whiteout Press, August 20, 2013. Fukushima, Japan Japan gambles the world “……….For the past two years, there have been varying and sporadic reports, some official and some unofficial, describing how the Fukushima nuclear meltdown is anything but under control. In fact, millions of gallons of radioactive wastewater continue to spill out into the Pacific to this day. And while the reactors and their safety mechanisms continue to break down, the world comes closer and closer to global Armageddon.
To stop the complete and total meltdown of Japan’s nuclear reactors, authorities have proposed a dangerous plan. The biggest problem is Fukushima’s Reactor Number 4. The reactor’s cooling pool for spent nuclear rods is located on the top floor of the TEPCO building. And that building was heavily damaged by the 2011 quake. Due to its instability, authorities say they must move the 400 tons of spent fuel rods right away.
Spent fuel rod transfers occur on a fairly regular basis, but always under the most secure and controlled setting due to the potential nuclear catastrophe that would happen if just one spent rod is mishandled. In the case of Fukushima’s Reactor 4, officials will attempt to remove 1,300 spent fuel rods from a structurally unsafe building in a highly contaminated environment.
The problems and dangers
One nuclear fallout expert, Christina Consolo, spoke to RT News to answer the outlet’s questions regarding the situation in Fukushima. She detailed a list of potential problems authorities might encounter when they attempt to move the spent rods. Those potentially catastrophic hurdles include (from RT News):
- The racks inside the pool that contain this fuel were damaged by the explosion in the early days of the accident.
- Zirconium cladding which encased the rods burned when water levels dropped, but to what extent the rods have been damaged is not known, and probably won’t be until removal is attempted.
- Saltwater cooling has caused corrosion of the pool walls, and probably the fuel rods and racks.
- The building is sinking.
- The cranes that normally lift the fuel were destroyed.
- Computer-guided removal will not be possible; everything will have to be done manually.
- TEPCO cannot attempt this process without humans, which will manage this enormous task while being bombarded with radiation during the extraction and casking.
- The process of removing each rod will have to be repeated over 1,300 times without incident.
- Moving damaged nuclear fuel under such complex conditions could result in a criticality if the rods come into close proximity to one another, which would then set off a chain reaction that cannot be stopped.
What is most likely to go wrong?
When asked what the biggest potential dangers are in removing the damaged spent fuel rods, Christina Consolo replied, “The most serious complication would be anything that leads to a nuclear chain reaction. And as outlined above, there are many different ways this could occur. In a fuel pool containing damaged rods and racks, it could potentially start up on its own at anytime. TEPCO has been incredibly lucky that this hasn’t happened so far.”
She also expressed concern for the human workers that will have to submerse themselves into a highly radioactive environment and then perform extremely precise movements. Not only might their senses and thinking be affected, but their protective gear will make the entire operation somewhat clumsy.
“My second biggest concern would be the physical and mental fitness of the workers that will be in such close proximity to exposed fuel during this extraction process,” Consolo told RT News, “They will be the ones guiding this operation and will need to be in the highest state of alertness to have any chance at all of executing this plan manually and successfully. Many of their senses, most importantly eyesight, will be hindered by the apparatus that will need to be worn during their exposure to prevent immediate death from lifting compromised fuel rods out of the pool.” http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q32013/japanese-gamble-armageddon-in-last-ditch-fukushima-effort/
Highly radioactive since 1957 nuclear disaster, Windscale site to be cleaned up by robots
Robots to Demolish Site of UK’s Worst Nuclear Incident at Sellafield http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/499768/20130818/sellafield-nuclear-robots-destroy.htm By TOM PORTER: August 18, 2013 Giant robots will be used to destroy the part of the Sellafield nuclear plant that caught fire 56 years ago, spewing radioactive contamination around Britain and northern Europe.
The Windscale Pile One chimney at the Cumbria plant has been sealed and cut off since the 1957 disaster.
There is still highly charged material trapped inside the shaft of the 400ft chimney, and more than 10 tons of melted radioactive uranium fuel remains inside the structure itself.
The reactor was built after World War II to make some of Britain’s first nuclear bombs, and then pressed into service to make tritium for an H-bomb, pushing the reactors beyond their limits and causing the blaze.
Workers at the plant were exposed to 150 times a safe lifetime’s dose of radiation, and for a month the government destroyed all milk produced within 200 miles of the site. Environmentalists and campaigners have since pointed to Sellafield as a warning of the potentially catastrophic effects of nuclear energy. Continue reading
Russia’s secret maze of underground radioactive trash tunnels
A Secret Race for Abandoned Nuclear Material http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/world/asia/a-secret-race-for-abandoned-nuclear-material.html?_r=0 By ELLEN BARRY August 17, 2013 Working in top secret over a period of 17 years, Russian and American scientists collaborated to remove hundreds of pounds of plutonium and highly 
enriched uranium — enough to construct at least a dozen nuclear weapons — from a remote Soviet-era nuclear test site in Kazakhstan that had been overrun by impoverished metal scavengers, according to a report released last week by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard.
The report sheds light on a mysterious $150 million cleanup operation paid for in large part by the United States, whose nuclear scientists feared that terrorists would discover the fissile material and use it to build a dirty bomb.
Over the years, hints emerged that something extraordinarily dangerous had been left behind in a warren of underground tunnels — like the American aerial drones that circled over the site, looking for intruders, or the steel-reinforced concrete that was poured into tunnels and over stretches of earth.
Among the report’s new revelations is that the Soviet testers left behind components, including high-purity plutonium, that could have been used to build not just a dirty bomb but a “relatively sophisticated nuclear device,” an American official told the report’s authors. Continue reading
Former nuclear chief says Iran has 18,000 Uranium centrifuges
Uranium Centrifuge Details Released by Iran’s Former Nuclear Chief (INFOGRAPHIC) By Gracie Lee , Christian Post August 18, 2013 Iran has 18,000 Uranium centrifuges, according to the country’s outgoing nuclear chief, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani who spoke on the country’s nuclear program on Saturday. The claim has come from Abbasi-Davani, who was speaking to Iranian media on Saturday.
Iran has continued to build its uranium-enrichment centrifuges as part of its nuclear program despite the United States and the international community pressuring the Middle Eastern nation to stop its nuclear push.
However, Iran has refused to comply with their requests, and has insisted that its nuclear program has nothing to do with weapons, but is simply for “peaceful purposes.”
Recently the new Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, has expressed a slightly more open rhetoric about opening talks with world powers over the country’s nuclear program. However, he has been clear that Iran has every right to enrich uranium and has shown no intentions of halting the program.
On Saturday, the ISNA news agency quoted Abbasi-Davani as saying that Iran has 17,000 older “first-generation” IR-1 centrifuges. Out of those 17,000, about 10,000 are still operating and 7,000 are ready to start operations…. http://www.christianpost.com/news/uranium-centrifuge-details-released-by-irans-former-nuclear-chief-infographic-102512/#RUSHZxTeF8bKoOlY.99
Growing opposition to nuclear waste dumping close to Lake Huron
Questions, concern surround plan to store nuclear waste near Lake Huron http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130818/METRO08/308180008/ Jim Lynch
On Monday, two state legislators will host a town hall meeting in Detroit focusing on the plan to store low- to intermediate-level nuclear waste 2,230 feet below the ground near the Lake Huron shore. One of the legislators, Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood, D-Taylor, also posted a Facebook video on the project, laying out his concerns.
“This nuclear waste repository will be surrounded by Lake Huron on three sides and be located just upstream from the main drinking water intake for southeast Michigan,” he says in the two-minute video. “If this radioactive material leaks, the drinking water for 40 million people could be contaminated.”
The town hall, titled “Save the Great Lakes from Nuclear Waste,” will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. at Wayne State University’s Keith Center Lecture Hall.
For several years, Ontario Power Generation has been moving ahead with designs for an underground nuclear waste repository near Kincardine. During that time, the proposal has drawn sporadic interest and opposition in the United States — often in the form of isolated press releases by elected officials.
Ontario Power Generation officials have long argued their repository would be situated amid low-permeability limestone and shale formations that will keep the material there safe for “thousands” of years. U.S. and Canadian critics are concerned that, despite the company’s stated intentions, the repository could one day be used to house high-level nuclear waste.
In mid-September, Ontario’s federal review panel will begin a lengthy public hearing on the storage project. Then it will move north for additional hearings in Port Elgin in October.
“Some time in February would be the (earliest) that the panel would release its conclusions,” said Ted Grtuzner, an Ontario Power Generation spokesman. From there, the proposal would go on to the province’s Ministry of the Environment for a final review. jlynch@detroitnews.com (313) 222-2034
Critically dangerous – removing radioactive rods from Fukushima’s elevated cooling pool
The deadliest part of Japan’s nuclear clean-up Stuff.co.NZ AARON SHELDRICK AND ANTONI SLODKOWSKI 14 Aug 13, The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is preparing to remove 400 tonnes of highly irradiated spent fuel from a damaged reactor building, a dangerous operation that has never been attempted before on this scale.
INADVERTENT CRITICALITY “There is a risk of an inadvertent criticality if the bundles are distorted and get too close to each other,” Gundersen said. He was referring to an atomic chain reaction that left unchecked could result in a large release of radiation and heat that the fuel pool cooling system isn’t designed to absorb.
“The problem with a fuel pool criticality is that you can’t stop it. There are no control rods to control it,” Gundersen said. “The spent fuel pool cooling system is designed only to remove decay heat, not heat from an ongoing nuclear reaction.”
The rods are also vulnerable to fire should they be exposed to air, Gundersen said.
The fuel assemblies are situated in a 10 metre by 12 metre concrete pool, the base of which is 18 metres above ground level. The fuel rods are covered by 7 metres of water, Nagai said.
The pool was exposed to the air after an explosion a few days after the quake and tsunami blew off the roof. The cranes and equipment normally used to extract used fuel from the reactor’s core were also destroyed. Tepco has shored up the building, which may have tilted and was bulging after the explosion, a source of global concern that has been raised in the US Congress……….
Under normal circumstances, the operation to remove all the fuel would take about 100 days. Tepco initially planned to take two years before reducing the schedule to one year in recognition of the urgency. But that may be an optimistic estimate.
“I think it’ll probably be longer than they think and they’re probably going to run into some issues,” said Murray Jennex, an associate professor at San Diego State University who is an expert on nuclear containment and worked at the San Onofre nuclear plant in California.
“I don’t know if anyone has looked into the experience of Chernobyl, building a concrete sarcophagus, but they don’t seem to last well with all that contamination.” Corrosion from the salt water will have also weakened the building and equipment, he said….. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/9041215/The-deadliest-part-of-Japans-nuclear-clean-up
Court rules that NRC must review Yucca nuclear waste plan
Court Keeps Yucca Mountain in Play http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323446404579011122577985720.html WSJ, TENNILLE TRACY and KEITH JOHNSON, 13 Aug 13 WASHINGTON—A federal court on Tuesday directed the Obama administration to revive consideration of the Yucca Mountain nuclear-waste project in Nevada, breathing new life into a long-running controversy over a final resting place for the country’s roughly 70,000 metric tons of spent commercial nuclear fuel.
The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was “simply flouting the law” by refusing to take up a Yucca Mountain license application roughly five years after it was submitted by the Bush administration.
The Obama administration has attempted to abandon the project, in part because it wants local support for any nuclear-waste repository and Yucca Mountain faces opposition in Nevada.
The appeals court, citing a 1982 law directing the NRC to complete reviews within three years of an application, said “the president and federal agencies may not ignore statutory mandates or prohibitions merely because of policy disagreements.”
The ruling doesn’t guarantee that Yucca Mountain, about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, will move forward. Rather, it applies pressure on Congress to finally decide the project’s fate since it controls its funding. Continue reading
“Decommissioning” – a pretty word for taking radioactive trash
Nuclear Laundry Outsourced for 4 years , Radiation Free Lakeland UK,By mariannewildart on January 14, 2013 “……...Shortridge tell us that they have been washing Sellafield laundry for 4 years on a contingency basis i.e. when the power is insufficient (from Fellside Gas power station) at Sellafield, the washing is outsourced. Highly Active work wear and towels go to Wales and the Non Active laundry of towels and underwear goes to Shortridge at Lillyhall. Shortridge do not have a discharge license or any means of monitoring the laundry once it reaches them, relying wholly on Sellafield to monitor and we know that they always get it right!
Shortridge are understandably angry that we have drawn attention to their contract with Sellafield and asked that the original blog post be taken off immediately. What we feel is deeper than anger, Shortridge is a business looking at the bottom line, they see themselves as “innocent bystanders.” At Lillyhall, a previously non nuclear site, Nuclear Studsvik is now recycling radioactive scrap metal, radioactive waste from Chapel Cross and elsewhere is now going into landfill and Shortridge is now washing nuclear laundry.
Government, the regulators and the nuclear ‘industry’ are actively encouraging private business to take government contracts often under the guise of “decommissioning.” The result is new pathways for accidental and routine release of radiation into the wider environment of Cumbria away from Sellafield. Why is there no contingency laundry with its own generators on the Sellafield site?
A cynic might suspect that the nuclear industry is deliberately trying to annihilate Cumbria’s reputation as an attractive and healthy tourist destination so that all we are left with is the “huge opportunity” of the worlds largest nuclear dump and new nuclear developments. Barbed wire, security wall and armed guards around the whole of Cumbria? If tourism is most at threat from the nuclear industry’s agenda then it is clear that the nuclear agenda in Cumbria is most at threat from tourism. Baroness Verma’s promised “Brand Protection” is meaningless and has the added benefit for government of being the scapegoat to detract from nuclear if the tourist industry crashes i.e. the “brand protection strategy” has failed.
The only brand protection worth having is to ensure that Sellafield is banned from contracting out pathways (whether that’s a mega nuclear dump or nuclear laundry) that allow the accidental or routine release of radioactivity to the wider environment. http://mariannewildart.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/nuclear-laundry-outsourced-for-4-years/
