society has always feared everything related to energy, waste treatment plants or nuclear. The threat of a nuclear accident, radioactive waste production or proliferation of nuclear weapons are examples of the phobia existing. Previous entries
we were talking about the Energy Revolution approaching and the importance of this movement we wanted to go by linking different technologies, sources and resources that would allow for independent Hydrocarbons as a driver of our economy and development.
nuclear waste are produced in each stage of the nuclear fuel cycle from uranium mining to reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Most nuclear waste remains dangerous for thousands of years, leaving a dangerous legacy for future generations.
The extraction of plutonium by reprocessing results in a huge volume of highly radioactive liquid waste. Some of this waste produced during the reprocessing material is mixed with hot glass and solidified, resulting in glass rods that are also classified as HLW. The vitrification process makes it easy to transport and storage of waste Basic stages all nuclear processing:
1. Extraction of Uranium. The uranium used in nuclear power plants is usually mined in countries like Canada, Australia, Russia and Nigeria. In this first stage, the risk is due to breathing radioactive gases can lead to lung cancer. This last effect added to water and land pollution.
2. Uranium enrichment. Uranium naturally obtained is not suitable for nuclear fission, so to put it to use in a nuclear reactor needs to be enriched, the process generating massive amounts of radioactive particles. These remains are often used in weapons.
3. The enriched material is converted into uranium dioxide and compressed for "fuel rods" (Search).
4. Within the plant, uranium is divided to heat the water in a reactor and thus obtain electricity.
5. The process results in a particle chemical development uranium and plutonium. It is estimated that there is a stock of 230,000 kg of plutonium and only 5 kg is needed to build a nuclear bomb. Some highly dangerous radioactive isotopes such as cesium, strontium, iodine, krypton and plutonium are generated during normal operation of a nuclear reactor. Plutonium is particularly dangerous as it can be used in nuclear weapons if it is separated from spent nuclear fuel through a chemical treatment called "reprocessing."
6. The big problem is how to eliminate all that basurilla generated.
Everything seems to indicate that there is a clean but very productive. The day they find a way to remove these radioactive wastes is energy to consider as a true substitute for or as a simple additional alternative. Recent accidents
of importance have been Windscale (1957), Three Mile Island (1979), Chernobyl (1986) and Tokalmura (1999).
