Where to put a radioactive waste?

In Russia «for today it is already found about 14 thousand tons of the spent nuclear fuel, basically form the Russian nuclear power plants». It is necessary to remind, that the spent fuel represents the most radioactive, lethally radioactive from everything, that atomic reactor “produces”. To available quantity, the Minister of Atomic energy of Russia A.Rumjantsev dreams to add 20 thousand tons of the spent fuel from abroad.

Tobias Mjunchmajer from international organization “Greenpeace” has stated a comprehensive assessment to a problem of radioactive waste: «it is explicit, that the international nuclear industry is found in crisis, as does not know what to do with planting volumes of waste products of the nuclear power plant. The radioactive waste should remain in country where it is produced, instead of cynically to felt in poor country, similar Russia, with the weak ecological legislation».

The assessment of problem of the radioactive waste, introduced by the English expert David Louri [27] is rather categorical: «Silly to effect more waste products when we do not manage to clear up with what we have already accumulated.” From 23 countries listed by him, 14 – expect “to sell” highly radioactive waste products and spent nuclear fuel in other countries, 4 countries (France, Japan, England and Russia) are ready “to share” waste products with other countries and only 5 countries (Canada, China, India, Sweden and the USA) are ready to dispose radioactive waste products on own territory.

However, it still only dreams of Belarusian atomic lobbyists. And already today the neighbour – Lithuania offers Belarusians “service” - waste storage of the Ignalina nuclear power plant literally on the border not simply countries, but also special recreational area – “Braslavskiye lakes”.

Charging thermal energy in emissions of oxides of carbon which presumably could result greenhouse effect on the Earth and as result, to rise in temperature of air (we already talk about that), it is not necessary to forget that the nuclear power plant not indirectly, but directly raises temperature and an atmospheric humidity and essentially variates a climate in the extensive environment. At extremely low efficiency, the atomic reactor throws out huge quantity of heat and moisture into an atmosphere. Not casually the nuclear power plant on the influence on a nature compare to an active volcano.

The indisputable conclusion follows from all told: construction in Belarus of rather expensive site is categorically impermissible, capable to bring incalculable damage of ecology of country and to health of its people.

3.4. “Great rescue”

Speak, that our Earth is threatened with great crisis – very fast exhaustion in an earth interior of all that gives us today heat, light and any power. In addition, our atomic lobbyists have taken and have thought up how to rescue us from this approaching trouble. They have thought up such fuel for atomic reactors that will be derivate in the reactor.

Natural uranium procured from an earth interior will consist practically of two isotopes. The first has an atomic weight of 238 units (U-238), in natural uranium (in round figures) it makes 99,3 %. The second - U-235 (that is fissionable and used in weapon), in natural uranium (too in round figures) makes 0,7 %. The Uranium - 238 does not participate in chain reaction of fission. However, from it under influence of a neutron torrent the new element –plutonium - 239 will be derivate. It also escapes at radiochemical factories for building of nuclear weapons.

About this element one of the largest experts in range of radiological protection, the explorer of plutonium, Charles Morgan has told: “Plutonium, probably, one of the most hazardous substances, known to the person“.

Americans offer to transfer it in the form, not applicable for the further utilization, for example, to admix with melted glass and to store forever in underground repositories- mortuaries.Our valorous atomic lobbyists came to conclusion: plutonium should “be incinerated” in reactors of the nuclear power plantby the so-called MOX FUEL. Nevertheless, such way is economically unprofitable and extremely hazardous. Furthermore reactors on fast neutrons for which this fuel designed, are practically absent in the world.

Similar, that it is not simply next adventure of Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy. It is more similar to exhibiting of schizophrenia in managing sphere of atomic department of Russia.
