Myth: <\/strong>Spent nuclear fuel is dangerous green gue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> It is made of small, ceramic uranium fuel pellets stacked up inside metal fuel rods. The fuel is a solid when it enters the reactor and remains a solid when it exits the reactor. Sorry Simpsons [1].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth: Recycling produces more waste than before<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> 1% waste should sound like a little. But this one percent accounts for 99.99% of the long-term radiotoxicity that practically dominates the entire repository problem. Recycled in MOX fuel cells, this plutonium can be split again. The final storage quantity is thus halved, while the energy gain is doubled. A better example of “recycling” can hardly be found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth: Transporting spent nuclear fuel <\/strong>pose a high risk <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> SNF transportation containers are designed to significantly limit radiation at the surface of the structure to low levels that meet regulatory requirements for safety [2]. The amount emitted from a SNF transportation container is very low – lower than the background radiation that occurs naturally in the environment [3].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transport container is built and tested to withstand more than 99 percent of vehicle accidents, including water immersion, impact, punctures and fires [4].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 25,000 shipments of HLW have been made worldwide. Shipments have taken place virtually without incident and without any harmful radioactivity releases [3]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest security threat to waste transport is anti-nuclear activists that goes from blocing roads and rails to violence [5]. Training camps have even been set up. As in Germany [6]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth: Nuclear energy creates a lot of nuclear waste.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fact:<\/strong> No other industry produces so little and so easily manageable waste as nucler energy. Worldwide, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) estimates approx. 250,000 tons of spent fuel from all the nuclear power plants that have existed since the 1950s [7]. It would fit into a single football field stacked in approx. 10 meters high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a comparison, coal plants around the world produce the same volume of waste every hour, and that waste ends up directly in nature and our lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The already extremely small amounts of nuclear waste could be practically completely eliminated by use in fast breeder reactors as well as the upcoming 4th generation reactors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
