内容説明
Nuclear Waste Disposal Crisis examines a critical problem facing the nuclear power industry - what to do with spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants. Author David Lochbaum reveals: Why spent fuel reprocessing failed in the United States Why spent fuel disposal is an unattainable goal under current methods Why spent fuel interim storage now represents an imminent crisis of understated proportions. This valuable book chronicles the evolving spent fuel storage methods that enable nuclear power plants to remain operating despite repeated delays in opening the geological repository. It describes potential spent fuel risks, with numerous examples of near-misses. And it explains one nuclear power plant's design faults that may exist in several other operating nuclear power plants, Nuclear Waste Disposal Crisis offers factual accounting of a problem which, if left unaddressed, can have disastrous consequences. It qualifies as required reading for professionals everywhere, regardless of political of industry allegiances. David Lochbaum graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.S. in nuclear engineering and entered the nuclear power industry just three months after the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island.
He spent several years as a technical advisor at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant before joining an engineering consulting company in 1983.
