Robotic Inspection of Nuclear Waste Storage Facilities
Introduction Safe disposal of nuclear waste is a difficult problem. Long-term plans are to house nuclear waste permanently in underground facilities. In the near-term however, nuclear waste is stored in temporary storage facilities at various sites around the country. Federal and state regulations require periodic inspection of these storage facilities to insure storage vessel integrity and ver...
متن کاملNuclear Waste Storage and Environmental Intergenerational Externalities
This article analyzes the long-term consequences of nuclear waste storage within a general equilibrium framework. The objective is to determine the conditions for which the storage of waste, and thus the transfer of externalities towards the future, can be optimal. These conditions could explain the implementation of intergenerational externalities, justifying an intertemporal Not In My Back Ya...
متن کاملSpanish Protest against Proposed Nuclear Waste Storage
Siting the nuclear cemetery in Zarra would compromise the safety of the Valencians, said Juan Cotino, third vicepresident of Valencia's regional government earlier, in a reversal of the initially mild opposition to the ATC. Zarra could not satisfy the safety requirements for such a sensitive installation, he says. Most of the subsoil in the area ia a combination of clay and loam and could be ge...
متن کاملStorage of High Level Nuclear Waste in Germany
Uloženie nukleárneho odpadu vysokého stupňa v Nemecku Nuclear energy is very often used to generate electricity. But first the energy must be released from atoms what can be done in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electrical energy. The electrical energy generated in nuclear power plants does not produce polluting combustion gase...
متن کاملApplications of Virtual Reality in Geomechanics
The concept of virtual reality is a very powerful tool for enhancing the human perception of complex threedimensional information. The field of geomechanics is predestined for such an application since we are not only dealing with complex 3-D information about excavation geometries and geological features but also may be interested in displaying results of numerical simulations which may by the...
