ScienceNow : If chemicals were people, uranium dioxide would be the guy standing alone with his drink at a party. The world's most commonly used radioactive substanceand its heaviest natural elementclutches its two oxygen atoms so tightly, it almost never reacts with other compounds. Now researchers report finding a way to pry one oxygen atom loose, potentially opening up safer ways to handle and dispose of this nuclear antisocialite.

IEER Classifications of Radioactive Waste What's high? What's low? How are classifications decided? For more information on radioactive waste, a critique of current policies, and suggestions for an alternative approach to radioactive waste management, see IEER's publication: High-Level Dollars Low-Level Sense on our publications page. Radioactive Waste: In general, radioactive waste classes are based on the waste's origin, not on the physical and chemical properties of the waste that could determine its safe management. Other categories of radioactive waste not listed here include mixed waste and NARM wastes (Naturally-Occurring and Accelerator-Produced Radioactive Materials). One common factor for all categories of nuclear waste is the presence of at least some amount of long-lived radionuclides. Some Classifications of Radioactive Waste Category of Radioactive Waste Definition High-Level Waste (HLW) Spent Fuel: irradiated commercial reactor fuel Reprocessing Waste: liquid waste from solvent extraction cycles in reprocessing. Also the solids into which liquid wastes may have been converted. NOTE: The Department of Energy defines HLW as reprocessing waste only, while the Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines HLW as spent fuel and reprocessing waste.

WASTE MANAGEMENT Management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste The Commission is proposing to help establish a high level of nuclear safety in the management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in the Member States, in order to protect public health and the environment. It believes that safe and effective management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste can only be ensured through Community intervention. PROPOSAL Amended proposal for a Council Directive (Euratom) on the management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste [ COM(2004) 526 final - Not published in the Official Journal]. SUMMARY There are currently no final disposal facilities in any of the Member States for high-level and long-lived radioactive waste generated in the use of nuclear energy. Not one final disposal site has been set up in the more than fifty years of existence of the nuclear industry and at present radioactive waste is held provisionally in interim storage facilities. Radioactive waste consists of non-reusable and non-recyclable substances which, when discharged or disposed of, contain sufficient radionuclides (radioactive elements) to potentially impact on human health and the environment. In total, about 40 000 m³ of radioactive waste is produced each year in the European Union, of which about 80% is short-lived low-level radioactive waste. The volume of waste produced will increase following the accession of the candidate countries.

SWEEPING his hand across the surface of a warm cask heated by some of the most radioactive material on earth, Walter Heep says he is confident that the contents can be kept safely and securely aboveground for the next few decades. Asked what might happen beyond that time frame — particularly if Swiss voters continue to reject proposals to bury nuclear waste permanently at a deep underground site — Mr. Heep is blunt about the problems that a lack of such a site will present for the future of the nuclear industry in Switzerland.

Radioactive Waste Since 1954, the United States has been generating electricity from nuclear power and storing the subsequent waste. Once a highly publicized concern, disposing and securing the waste no longer receives the attention that it deserves. 80,000 tons of highly radioactive waste is cooling outside nuclear plants waiting for a destination. Politicians, engineers, and corporations have suggested myriad solutions, such as exporting, burying, or sinking the waste. And while numerous countries are developing final repositories sealed vaults buried deep in the earth no one is sure of its future effects on the environment. Unclear About Nuclear?

37. Waste: Radioactive Wastes radioactive waste has four main categories lowlevel radioactive waste, high-level radioactive waste, naturally occurring radioactive material, http://www.texasep.org/html/wst/wst_6ird.html

Low-level Radioactive Waste FYI Each cubic foot of low-level radioactive waste costs between $350 and $500 to ship and manage at a proper waste management facility. (Source: Susan Jablonski, Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority, phone interview by author, September 1994, Austin.) In Texas, it is believed that by 2007, there will be approximately 2 million cubic fee of low-level radioactive waste needing disposal. Currently, two commercial sites are receiving low-level radioactive waste in South Carolina, and Utah. In Texas, mining, power plants, industries, hospitals, and university research facilities generate about 20,000 cubic feet per year of low-level radioactive waste. By volume, about one-third of this low-level radioactive waste comes from Texas's two nuclear power reactors: the South Texas Project in Matagorda County, and the two-unit Comanche Peak Project in Somervell County. By the amount of radioactivity—as measured in a radioactivity scale known as curies—nuclear power plants account for at least 70 percent of the state's low-level radioactive waste.

Links Register for Arms Control Association e-mail updates Email: Arms Control Today May 2007 Printer Friendly Faux Renaissance: Global Warming, Radioactive Waste Disposal, and the Nuclear Future Harold A. Feiveson Over the past 20 years, there has been little or no net growth in installed nuclear capacity in much of the world with the exception of Asia, where there has been some limited new nuclear construction. Many energy analysts now expect, however, a dramatic nuclear renaissance, provoked in part by anxieties over global warming and claims that nuclear power can play a substantial role in easing these concerns. Yet, nuclear power will have to expand fivefold or more worldwide to make even a modest contribution to greenhouse gas reductions. Such an expansion does not appear feasible in the next quarter-century or longer, and in the interim, there are alternative paths to low-carbon-emitting electricity that appear equally or more promising than nuclear power. Rather than rushing headlong into promoting nuclear power as a means of curbing global warming, policymakers should take the ample time they have to assess the practical feasibility of implementing other alternatives on a large scale. Until this is done, there is no reason that nuclear power should be privileged by government policies.
