The Ward Valley Anti-Nuclear Waste is a longstanding campaign regarded the attempted proposals by institutions like the U.S. Ecology, Inc. to relocate waste sourced to southwestern states like California and Arizona. [1] [2] This campaign has continued avoid
James 'Jim' Wilson Voss is an American senior nuclear engineer who has managed nuclear materials and radioactive waste since graduating from the University of Arizona in the 1970s. Voss became known to Australians through his managing directorship of Pangea Resources , a consortium which planned to establish a nuclear waste repository in ...
Joni Arends with Nuclear Watch New Mexico said the DOE should also include analysis of the impact the new containers will have on climate change, as they will be made of steel and lead and be left ...
In 1982 the Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Management Executive (NIREX) was established with responsibility for disposing of long-lived nuclear waste [77] and in 2006 a Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recommended geologic disposal 200–1,000 metres (660–3,280 ft ...
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant disposes of transuranic (TRU) nuclear waste in an underground salt deposit about 30 miles east of Carlsbad, shipped in from Department of Energy sites around the ...
Edward Holbrook, with the Department of Ecology’s nuclear waste program at Washington State University said legacy waste is not officially defined at the DOE’s Hanford Site in Washington.
US nuclear waste management policy completely broke down with the ending of work on the incomplete Yucca Mountain Repository. [2] Without a long-term solution to store nuclear waste, a nuclear renaissance in the U.S. remains unlikely. Nine states have "explicit moratoria on new nuclear power until a storage solution emerges". [3] [4]
Proposed pictogram warning of the dangers of buried nuclear waste for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Long-term nuclear waste warning messages are communication attempts intended to deter human intrusion at nuclear waste repositories in the far future, within or above the order of magnitude of 10,000 years. Nuclear semiotics is an ...
