Radioactive waste is regulated by government. Industries generating radioactive waste include nuclear medicine nuclear research nuclear power manufacturing construction coal and rare earth mining and nuclear weapons reprocessing. Radioactive waste is a type of hazardous waste that contains radioactive material radioactive waste is a by product of various nuclear technology processes.
Posted 07 august 2006 at 10 12 am. I also like the idea of representing the atomic structure of the waste as part of the graphic elements on any of the monuments to give a link to both an advanced or a primitive culture. Nuclear waste buried below 1000m you are 5 of the way to danger area.
Over the past 35 years british nuclear fuels plc bnfl and its subsidiary pntl have conducted over 14 000 cask shipments of snf. Each flask weighs more than 50 tonnes and transports usually not more than 2 5 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel. Railway carried flasks are used to transport spent fuel from nuclear power stations in the uk and the sellafield spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facility.
Experts are trying to come up with the best way to warn earth s future inhabitants whether 10 000 or 100 000 years from now what precisely lies under their feet. Because we re not sure that hey don t touch this will mean the same thing in the future. On wiki of the week we read the wikipedia page for long time nuclear waste warning messages which are are intended to deter human intrusion at nuclear waste repositories in the far future within or above the order of magnitude of 10 000 years.
How do we tell our distant descendants people 10 000 years fr. Nuclear semiotics is the discipline of communicating the nature of radioactive waste to people who don t know what it is. They can dilute radiation and store numerous nuclear waste filled containers.
For example our oceans and seas are commonly used as storage places for nuclear waste due to their large volume. There it should be safeguarded for a long time. It is common practice to store nuclear waste deep in the earth s structure.
Burying nuclear waste hundreds of meters underground in the middle of a barren desert is a better safeguard than any structure or warning signs that could eventually just bring attention to the location.
Nuclear waste warning structure. Long time nuclear waste warning messages are intended to deter human intrusion at nuclear waste repositories in the far future within or above the order of magnitude of 10 000 years. Nuclear semiotics is an interdisciplinary field of research first done by the human interference task force in 1981. A 1993 report from sandia national laboratories recommended that any such message should. The a frame design for the structure looks more like a ski chalet than a power plant.
It also would save 1 million tons of carbon emissions over a diesel generator and can turn nuclear waste. An even more intriguing approach is not marking a nuclear repository site at all.
