According to Dave Kraft, director of the Illinois-based nuclear watchdog group Nuclear Energy Information Service, dealings in the Illinois state legislature could position the state as a “de facto radioactive waste dump.” The state senate voted this week to overturn a 23-year-old … It offsets the high front end cost of reactors and prevents access to the plutonium contained in SNF. It other words the Nuclear Assisted Hydrocarbon Production Method is a win/win/win. …

North Korea has extracted its own plutonium. Iran is enriching uranium. Yet the grand poobahs of the liberal establishment still think it’s 1945 and the U.S. has some nuclear secrets we can keep from the rest of the world. … Mtn. Project to now be closed by Biden while Obama on the other hand announces the plans of two more nuclear facilities to be built in Georgia. How odd. How do you promote nuclear energy on the one hand and not a solution for its waste on the other! …

It is reported that the cooling ponds, filled with old nuclear reactor parts, emit potentially lethal doses of radiation. Engineers estimate it could cost up to £50bn over the course of 100 years to clean up the site (McKie, 2009; Savage, 2009). … He notes, for example, that the process of burning radioactive waste requires the development of plutonium reprocessing facilities. Reprocessing, according to Lovins, “makes waste management more difficult and complex, …
