[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimaera: [QB] On a somewhat related topic, Canada is now testing whether or not weapons grade plutonium from Russian and American nuclear weapons can be used as fuel in the CANDU reactors. If the test is successful, it means that we can burn this plutonium. The problem? The agency in charge (Atomic Energy Canada I believe) doesn't know yet whether its feasible or technically possible, but they've already agreed to accept 100 metric tonnes of plutonium into the country. Obviously when it comes to nuclear waste, very few people use that little thing called "common sense". As for nuclear waste disposal, I agree with Daryus Aden, shipping all of the waste to Australia is a bad idea. The farther you have to move the waste, the greater the risk. I don't see why Canada has to move it's waste to another country at all, there are plenty of reasonably good disposal sites here, especially in the Canadian shield, although its prohibitively expenisve to carve a facility out of solid rock. But if they choose the site in the right spot, and take the right precautions, contamination risk is usually very low. Much lower than putting the waste onto a ship and sailing halfway around the world. [/QB][/QUOTE]
