Ongoing Discussion
Comment in our online discussion on nuclear waste, led by David M. Klaus of Stanford University
(read more). See select comments below!
"People should forget about geologic burial of nuclear waste and instead focus on deploying existing methods of neutralizing radioactive waste."
- Gary Vesperman, Founding Member, New Energy Congress
"[I] suggest we first discuss an option to have a combined French-Finish solution.... The first site to be explored would be the north coast of Alaska—politically this can work, particularly if the proposal is combined with permanently saving a million acres of the North Slope as a wildlife sanctuary. The waste could be brought to the site by rail or by ship. [A nuclear waste negotiator] should be under either the Energy Department or the NRC, to utilize their expertise."
- Elliot Taubman, Attorney at Law, BIPCO
"...The entire discussion is based on a false premise: that a storage site has to store highly radiotoxic material for thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of years. This is nonsense. We’ve already demonstrated how to use pyroprocessing to recycle spent fuel that would leave just fission products to be stored for a few hundred years. By that time their radiotoxicity would be below the levels of natural uranium ore...."
- Tom Blees, President, The Science Council for Global Initiatives
