Nuclear waste: Ocean disposal recommended

Nuclear waste disposal.

-Experiments are described in which dose-response data have been obtained for EMT6 mouse tumour cells growing in vivo and exposed to various cytotoxic agents. A comparison has been made of the response of solid tumours in the flank and of rapidly growing lung nodules. The results are discussed with regard to their cell kinetic implications and compared with our results for the chemosensitivity ...

In Search of a Nuclear Waste Disposal Site

The choice of a site for high and intermediate level nuclear waste product material disposal in Jordan requires careful consideration of hydrology, hydrogeology, geological materials, seismicity, climate and other geological factors. The purpose of this paper is to explore how these factors in Jordan may affect the ultimate decision on where to site such a facility. Taking these factors into co...

Chemical and Nuclear Waste Disposal: Problems and Solutions

The problems of waste disposal have always been with us. In biblical times, the residents of Jerusalem always burnt their wastes in the hideous Vale of Gehenna. This gave way to burial of waste or sometimes dumping it in shallow oceans. All too often the sewage pipes of the seaside towns did not even take the waste to the low tide mark; and the use of the deep oceans as a disposal site has been...
