Absorbing Liquid Nuclear Waste? - Huntington News Network
Although still in experimental infancy, Russian scientists reported in 2008 the discovery of a mineral that absorbs radiation from liquid nuclear waste. They hope to clone the mineral as only a scant amount has been found in nature.
Ispra - On YouTube, a voyage into the JRC reactor | In English | Varese News
It was in 1957 when the bulldozers were in action preparing the ground where the first Italian reactor would stand. The place chosen by the Italian Committee for Nuclear Research (CNRN – Comitato Nazionale per le Ricerche Nucleari) was Ispra. The pictures and films show the machines and workers on the job; the scene is one of simple, bare land, where the inhabitants, with the war behind them, were watching the first steps of what would mark a significant turning-point. The story of the reactor “Ispra 1” and of the associated research centre is told in a long documentary film, which can be seen on YouTube and on the official site of the JRC
WRS | Future of nuclear energy at critical stage
Green, renewable energy, solar power, wind—indeed, one day these might be the country’s primary sources of energy. But for now these energy sources barely cover 5 percent of the country’s electricity needs. And these needs are growing by nearly 2 percent a year. With hydropower potential fully exploited and gas a pollution problem, nuclear energy appears to some to be the most promising stepping stone to the green fuels of the future. To others, any further investments in nuclear power would be a serious mistake. Lucas Chambers has the story:

Court hears uranium protesters locked in container - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Court hears uranium protesters locked in container
Civil action starts over uranium protest in 2000
A civil trial has started in the SA Supreme Court over police treatment of protesters at an outback uranium mine.
Ten protesters who were locked in a shipping container at Beverley in South Australia in 2000 are claiming damages from the government for injury and suffering caused by their allegedly false imprisonment.
The government has already settled out of court with three other plaintiffs who had been part of the class action.
A lawyer for the remaining plaintiffs, Brian Walters, told the court the protesters were given no warning before police beat them with batons, used capsicum spray and locked them in a shipping container with no water or toilet facilities for up to eight hours.
They are now suing the state government over their treatment by police.
The BRAD BLOG : VIDEO: ABC's Diane Sawyer on Sibel Edmonds, FBI Whistleblower, First Amendment 'Heroine'
In advance of tomorrow's related story [Update: That story now posted here], I thought you might appreciate a quick look at the following if you've never seen it before. Diane Sawyer narrates the story of FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds as she was awarded the 2006 PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award.
In the bargain, it's also worth remembering that Sawyer herself is at least aware of Edmonds, who she is, and some of what she's had to go through, further begging the question of why ABC News has failed to even note --- much less investigate and/or cover --- the recent revelations of bribery and blackmail of current and former U.S. Congressmembers and high-ranking State and Defense Department officials, and the theft and sale of nuclear secrets by agents of Turkey and Israel, as detailed in her sworn deposition in August, and remarkable AmCon cover-story interview which followed it late last month...
Uranium Policy Poll - KSTU
FOX 13 with partner Utahpolicy.com asked republican and democratic insiders whether energy solutions should be allowed to bring 10,000 additional tons of depleted uranium and radioactive waste from Italy to the Tooele County Facility. Energy consultant, Jeff Hartley said, "Energy is the most regulated industry and of that industry, nuclear is the most regulated and I have every confidence that if those products posed any type of threat, they wouldn't let them in the state."
FOX 13 and Utahpolicy.com asked 50 Republican and 50 Democratic politicians, activists and lobbyists and other insiders about the Uranium Policy. Both sides claim the science and the facts but the issues about Italian waste coming to Utah, 67 percent of Republican insiders say take it, especially because it comes with millions in shared profits for tax payers. 71 percent of Democrats say to keep it out, believing it will make Utah less safe and hurt the State's image.

SA Current - U: Hydrogen a Magic Bullet for Uranium Contamination?
Federal researchers are still looking for that silver bullet that will enable them to clean up contaminated and radioactive waters beneath so many toxic heaps, the result of decades of dumping of atomic weapons and nuclear power waste. One of the technologies gaining federal attention is also getting treatment from researchers at Texas A&M, Kingsville.
In a partnership with Uranium Resources, Inc., which operates the Kingsville Dome uranium mine a couple miles south of the city, Lee Clapp, associate professor of environmental engineering (left, with imported radioactive waste) is leading a team of students in a study of the ability of hydrogen to clean up shop.
SA Current - U: Mining whistleblower surfaces in Yorktown
Roland Burrows worked for Uranium Resources, Inc., as a wellfield operator at the Kingsville Dome in-situ uranium mine in Ricardo, Texas, back in 1996.
He says the company at the time was regularly flushing high volumes of water into the mine field that would have expanded groundwater pollution beyond its permitted area, posing a potential future risk to the residents of Kingsville.

Video: Uranium Tailings May Threaten Moab River - KSTU
MOAB, Utah - Although millions of tons of Uranium tailings have been removed, some citizens of Moab are concerned that the remaining tailings may contaminate the nearby Colorado river. The river runs through town and a potential contaminatino could jeapordize drinking water. Energy Solutions were contracted to remove the mounds of tailings in 2007. "Were were moving it is to an environmentally stable location, 30 miles north of the town of Moab to a stable environment where that material can sit for thousands of years," says Energy Solutions' Project Manager, Larry Brede.
Radioactive Waste Storage to Begin This Week at New Dump Site in Andrews County - KWES NewsWest 9 / Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, TX: newswest9.com |
Waste Control Specialists will start ushering in low-level radio active waste for storage at it's new dump site outside of Andrews County this week.
They'll begin storing shipments of waste from Studsvik, Incorporated out of Tennessee.
According to Waste Control Specialists (wcs), studsvik processes low-level radio active waste into a safer form for interim storage.
WCS has handled radio active waste since 1997 but received a low-level radio active waste disposal license from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (tceq) this year.

Orlando Sentinel - Orlando Congressman: Cleanup “work in Vieques is flawed” by
Rep. Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Orlando, spoke today before a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Health and Environment, advocating for a full environmental cleanup of the Puerto Rican island of Vieques.
The island served as a bombing range and military exercise ground for the Navy until the base was shut down in 2003, following protests from Puerto Ricans and their supporters on the island and the mainland.
Speaking to the HispanoSphere today, Rep. Grayson said he took it upon himself to bring up the subject of Vieques in that agency's hearing because he wants to keep a spotlight on the issue. Many Puerto Ricans live in his Orlando district, Grayson said, and because the island does not have voting members in Congress he feels he should speak for those U.S. territory citizens as well. "In a sense, I am the Congressman for Puerto Rico," Grayson said.
