  1. @ketan - remembering late 1970s UK Govt report saying that by the time radioactive waste grew to be a serious problem, we'd have worked out what to do with it! State #reprocessing #MOX #plutonium blather was terrifying enough, but wildcat privatised nuclear power, FFS

  7. So ein BS:

    "Wohin mit radioaktivem Iod aus Kernbrennstäben?"
    "Die Erkenntnisse legen nahe, dass bestimmte radioaktive Kernbrennstoffe durchaus umweltfreundlich recycelt werden können."

    Als ob Jod das einzige Problem sei.

    "Nach den französischen Gesetzen ist das erlaubt, weil es unter dem kritischen Grenzwert für die Natur liegt." Der Grenzwert für die Natur. So so.

  9. 🚀💥 Ah, the classic tale of nuclear waste #reprocessing gaining "momentum" in the U.S.—or perhaps just a well-protected secret hidden behind a 403 Forbidden error. Clearly, the real #innovation here is mastering the art of keeping things under wraps with the latest in cache server #technology. 🔒🤦‍♂️

    [PDF] Revelation of Endless N-damage Cover-ups: the “TEPCO scandal” and the adverse trend of easing inspection standards

    Nov./Dec. 2002
    Citizens' Nuclear Information Center

    "There has been a series of significant nuclear accidents over the past few years. To name a few, there was the #Monju sodium leakage acci-
    dent in December 1995, the #Tokai #reprocessing plant asphalt drum explosion accident in March 1997, and the JCO criticality accident in
    September 1999. On each occasion, the electric companies claimed that the nuclear power plants are operated with strict safety management. Since August 2002, however, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the largest electric utility in the nation and several other electric companies have plunged into a chain of scandals."

  13. #Supai, #Ute, #Dine', #Arapaho, and #Lakota Testify on #Uranium #Exploitation before #InterAmericanCommission on #HumanRights

    "The legacy of #UraniumMining in the #Southwest is death from #cancer and unreclaimed uranium mines. Now the contamination threatens the #ColoradoRiver. Tilousi urged the Commission to support the tribes efforts and pressure the #UnitedStates to change the #1872MiningLaw that allows international companies to seize #PublicLand for mining."

    WASHINGTON -- "'There was no respect for the people living on these lands, and certainly no respect for #MotherEarth,' Edith Hood, Dine' from Red Water Pond Road community, told the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

    "'The government was aware of the risks and the dangers but failed and neglected to inform our people.'

    "Dine', Havasupai, Northern Arapaho, Oglala Lakota and #WhiteMesa Ute testified on uranium exploitation by the United States on Wednesday, during the session, 'Impacts of Uranium Exploitation on #IndigenousPeoples' Rights.'

    "The #BIA, #EPA and #NuclearRegulatoryCommission praised themselves, and attempted to #CoverUp the legacy of death from uranium mining, strewn #RadioactiveWaste, and deadly uranium mills in Indian country.
    Eric Jantz, legal director of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, disagreed with the United States assertions.
    Jantz pointed out that the U.S. appears to want Native people to sacrifice more for 'national security' -- rather than to deal with the devastation. As for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it has not honored public comments. And as for the EPA, it's too late. There are more than 500 uranium mine sites waiting to be cleaned up on the Navajo Nation. Zero have been fully cleaned up, Jantz told the Commission.

    "'Our ancestors remains were desecrated to build the mill,' Anthony Badback, Ute Mountain Ute at White Mesa, told the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights today in Washington. Badback testified that #EnergyFuels uranium mill has contaminated the #groundwater, plants, birds, #wildlife, and air in his community in southeastern #Utah.

    "The young people are getting asthma, and the people can no longer use their spring water for ceremonies. Ute must buy bottled water to drink, and no longer hunt because of the contamination. Now, the mill is bringing in international waste and has become a low-level radioactive waste repository, because of the lax standards of the state of Utah. 'We want the mill to be shut down,' Badback told the Commission. 'Please help us.'
