42. Radioactive Waste
    Radioactive Waste Introduction. Radioactive wastes are generated in University laboratories because they are a byproduct of research activities involving radioactive sources.  
    http://www.des.umd.edu/compliance/factsheet/radwaste.html
    
    Extractions: Home Radioactive Waste Radioactive wastes are generated in University laboratories because they are a by-product of research activities involving radioactive sources. It is extremely important to treat these wastes according to applicable permits, regulations and the Department of Environmental Safety (DES) procedures to protect faculty, students and staff as well as the environment. DES has provided a wall calendar that is posted in each laboratory explaining how waste products must be prepared, stored, and disposed of. In addition, the Hazardous and Controlled Waste Procedures Manual is available DES web site (http://www.des.umd.edu) which provides detailed information related to the packaging, labeling, and handling of radioactive wastes. Security of radioactive materials, including waste products is required as directed by the UM Radiation Safety Manual. University policy for radiation protection is set by the University Radiation Safety Committee and is outlined in the UM Radiation Safety Manual. No one may use, bring to or remove from the University any radioisotopes, including radioactive waste products, except by approved methods. Every individual working with radioisotopes, must be approved by the Radiation Safety Officer and/or Radiation Safety Committee, must have appropriate radiation protection training for the material used, and must sign a declaration that these requirements are understood and will be complied with.

43. Waste Is A Terrible Thing To Mind - Home
    Book by John Weingart describing the attempt to find a location for the low-level radioactive waste generated within New Jersey by seeking a community that would volunteer to host the needed disposal facility.  
    http://wasteisaterriblethingtomind.com/
    
    Extractions: with Kojo Nnamdi on Public Interest on NPR John Weingart, now associate director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, was the official in New Jersey state government responsible for meeting a federal mandate to find an acceptable location for the low-level radioactive waste generated within the state. His book is the story of how one agency, instead of imposing a top-down solution, tried to design an approach that would confront public fears by seeking a community that would volunteer to host the needed disposal facility. It is also a larger saga of the challenges facing government in an era of heightened cynicism and distrust and the risks of not addressing an ever-widening chasm between government and the general public. PLANNING , the Journal of the American Planning Association, says: - "This book is a rare and precious resource in the planning literature: A chronicle of failure that does not scapegoat and that faces hard questions."

44. RadWaste.org
    Guide to radioactive waste, nuclear and radiation related resources on the internet. Categorized directory with more than 1700 links.  
    http://www.radwaste.org
    
    Extractions: Welcome to the new and expanded home of WasteLink , your guide to radioactive waste, nuclear and radiation related material on the internet, at RadWaste.org . While the primary purpose of this site is to provide a reference source for radioactive waste management professionals, we recognize that radwaste is a hotly debated and emotional issue in today's society. Few other topics can polarize a community faster than the discussion of what to do with radioactive waste (or whether we should be generating any at all). Therefore, we strive to present all sides of the story in a non-partisan fashion. Intelligent people, like yourself, have a right to evaluate the available information and form their own opinions. Our attempt at non-biased coverage has earned us the respect of people and institutions on all sides of the issue, pro, anti, academic, governments, and professional societies to name a few. Just look at the Friends of RadWaste.org

46. Private Fuel Storage Targets High-Level Radioactive Waste Dump At Skull Valley G
    Petition to obtain public hearings regarding the transport of the wastes and the hazards of the proposed site.  
    http://www.nirs.org/radwaste/scullvalley/skullvalley.htm
    
    Extractions: The tiny Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians Reservation in Utah is targeted for a very big nuclear waste dump. Private Fuel Storage (PFS), a limited liability corporation representing eight powerful nuclear utilities, wants to "temporarily" store 40,000 tons of commercial high-level radioactive waste (about 80% of the commercial irradiated nuclear fuel in the U.S. as of the end of 2004) next to the two-dozen tribal members who live on the small reservation. The PFS proposal is the latest in a long tradition of targeting Native American communities for such dumps. But there is another tradition on the targeted reservations as well–fighting back against blatant environmental racism , and winning. NIRS, joining with allies such as Indigenous Environmental Network and Honor the Earth , has been privileged and honored to assist tribal members opposing dumps targeted at their communities for well over a decade. Of 60 Indian communities directly targeted by the nuclear power establishment, 59 have fended off the threat. But the Skull Valley proposal has advanced further than any other before, and could be granted an operating license by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sometime in early 2005. NIRS and Skull Valley Goshute tribal opponents to this environmental racism – and threat of irradiated fuel trains by the hundreds rolling through dozens of U.S. states as early as 2007 – need YOUR help today!

    Extractions: Powered by JRank Pollution Issues Pl-Re Radioactive waste (or nuclear waste) is a material deemed no longer useful that has been contaminated by or contains radionuclides. Radionuclides are unstable atoms of an element that decay, or disintegrate spontaneously, emitting energy in the form of radiation. Radioactive waste has been created by humans as a by-product of various endeavors since the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 by Antoine Henri Becquerel. Since World War II, radioactive waste has been created by military weapons production and testing; mining; electrical power generation; medical diagnosis and treatment; consumer product development, manufacturing, and treatment; biological and chemical research; and other industrial uses. There are approximately five thousand natural and artificial radionuclides that have been identified, each with a different half-life. A half-life is a measure of time required for an amount of radioactive material to decrease by one-half of its initial amount. Half-life values for each known radionuclide are unique. The half-life of a radionuclide can vary from fractions of a second to millions of years. Some examples of radionuclides with a range of different half-lives include sodium-26 (half-life of 1.07 seconds), hydrogen-3 (half-life of 12.3 years), carbon-14 (half-life of 5,730 years), and uranium-238 (half-life of 4.47 billion years). The decay process of a radionuclide is the

    Extractions: Radioactive Waste Systems - Liquid / Gaseous / Solid Nuclear power plants usually have 3 types of radioactive waste treatment/handling systems for processing and storing the low-level waste that accumulates as part of normal operations. These systems treat and store: The Liquid Radioactive Waste systems are used to collect, process, and store liquids from: Typically, the liquids are collected in large storage tanks. The liquids are then processed using ion exchangers to remove radioactive and chemical contaminants. Water which meets chemical criteria (e,g, chlorides, fluorides) can be reused. If not, it can be reprocessed. Water which meets regulatory criteria specified in Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 20 can be discharged to the environment. Chemical and radioactivity levels in the tanks and process streams are monitored by sampling. If criteria are not meet, the water may be routed through additional ion exchangers. In some plants reverse osmosis units may be used. At one time, evaporators were used to purify/process water, however, experience with these units showed they were costly to run, susceptible to heat exchanger tube leaks, and insufficiently able to process the quantities of liquids used in a power plant.
