Been putting out radioactive materials since WW2 huh? I wonder how long a guy has to work there before his balls start to glow?💡😲💡 This makes me wanna play more old school Fallout.
How contaminated will this new plant be after it has treated the legacy waste? Will it then treat future wastes or will it then itself need to be dismantled and turned into waste?
@@Live.Vibe.Lasers For decades dilution of radioactive waste (e.g. in the sea) has been the preferred technique by nuclear industry. But studies show, that some radionuclides bind to components of soil and to rocks and do not get properly diluted... (you might look up beach findings at Seacale/GB)
Maybe it's time for another way to backup power to your reactor and cooling ponds. That works 24/7 , won't harm fish and backs up your diesel generators in case of power loss. The products called Waterotor a slow speed underwater turbine and it's made in Canada. I do not work for a sell this product it's just an idea I found on UA-cam that might solve a problem for you. Search Waterotor on UA-cam and see for yourself, don't be stuck like Chernobyl is without power because of the war. These units can be built to meet any size needs you might have. Let me know if you like the idea.
It's turned into one huge chunk of glass......from liquid into solid. Then they don't have to worry about it spilling or soaking into the ground and contaminating the Columbia river.
@@kylesenior They quote 400 per year are going to be made, divide that into the millions of pounds of waste that are being stored in the underground tanks... yea, at least 1000 years to finish. This is whats called a "snow job". Look it up.
@@hakapik683 Ah, so you're a fool that doesn't understand that liquid waste can be dried and converted into a solid that has many times less the mass. By the way, your maths is shit: 4 tonnes * 400 canisters = 800 tonnes per year, or 1.76 million pounds per year.
@@kylesenior You are the fool who does not understand just how much is actually buried under the ground. Face it.. you dont know what you are talking about. Cheers!
I live in the south of Germany and we've had a vitrification plant here for HLW from a prototype reprocessing plant. (of course in a much smaller scale) It seems, that it worked quite well, the liquid waste has been completely turned into glass coquilles. And emissions are said to have been within the legal limits. So I hope, they'll succeed at Hanford, too!
I hope this is successful
How the hell do you bid something like that? I got to think Bechtel is making a fortune on change orders.
BINGO!! You got it.

VIT will probably suffer the same fate as the WIPP facility.
DISASTER.
Good Lord.........what a mess!
The government is finally getting around to cleaning up Hanford. This is why we pay taxes.
So the government can do a terrible job and take 10 times longer than they should to do it?

most likely it will be dismantled and sent to the geological deposits
The equipment used to dismantle it will be a new waste. And on..and on..
The only solution to pollution is dilution.

could use space ex and just have them launch all this waste at the sun
Sounds cheap
What happens if the glass breaks?
Josh it’s glass soo it will be in smaller pieces, might need to be revitrified.

At 400 canisters per yer it should only take about 1000 years to finish the cleanup. FAIL.
Want to show your math?

@@hakapik683 The amount is 56 million gallons. So I do actually.
Sounds like a safe idea... Until we find out it isn't.
