In Search of a Nuclear Waste Disposal Site
The choice of a site for high and intermediate level nuclear waste product material disposal in Jordan requires careful consideration of hydrology, hydrogeology, geological materials, seismicity, climate and other geological factors. The purpose of this paper is to explore how these factors in Jordan may affect the ultimate decision on where to site such a facility. Taking these factors into co...
متن کاملUnderlying Yucca Mountain: The Interplay of Geology and Policy in Nuclear Waste Disposal
Nuclear waste disposal in the USA is a difficult policy issue infused with science, technology, and politics. This issue provides an example of the co-production of scientific knowledge and politics through public policy. The proponents of a repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, argue that their decision to go ahead with the site is based on ‘sound science’, but the science they use to uph...
متن کاملNuclear waste disposal.
-Experiments are described in which dose-response data have been obtained for EMT6 mouse tumour cells growing in vivo and exposed to various cytotoxic agents. A comparison has been made of the response of solid tumours in the flank and of rapidly growing lung nodules. The results are discussed with regard to their cell kinetic implications and compared with our results for the chemosensitivity ...
متن کاملNuclear waste risk perceptions
1. Introduction The siting of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is a highly controversial issue in most countries. So far, Finland [6; 9] and Sweden have been exceptions; for reviews see Sjöberg [13; 15]. The corporation responsible for finding a site and building a repository for SNF in Sweden, SKB, managed to find two promising host communities in 2001: Östhammar and Oskarshamn, two small communities ...
متن کاملincineration of nuclear waste
Since the end of 1989, ECN renewed its interest in incineration of transuranium elements and fission products. With respect to the transmutation of minor actinides ECN was requested by the clutch government to start a study of a scenario based upon thermal reactors and to work on incineration by means of new fast reactor designs. There are also plans for a study on the possible use of accelerat...
