The Yucca Mountain Project

Kai Erikson of Yucca Mountain project considers radiation and other forms of radioactive waste as a new type of problem (Erikson, 1994). Nuclear waste disposal is a very important and urgent issue. Nuclear waste is a substance that contains radioactive substances or is contaminated with radioactive elements and is no longer useful. Due to all the dangers of nuclear waste and half-life of 100,000 years, this problem must be resolved reliably.

Yucca Mountain Project was studied. We studied the reaction kinetics between water vapor and nuclear waste glass using accelerated test method. The influence of crystallization pressure due to glass hydration in the sealed container was investigated. Characterization of a new uranium silicate phase was discovered and led. The initial microstructure-property relationship of cement slurry drying shrinkage was developed using multiple correlations. Dry shrinkage of mixed cement slurries containing fly ash, blast furnace slag or silica fume was characterized at the microstructure level using environmental SEM and image analysis software. Innovative techniques for measuring C - S - H content in cement slurries have been developed. Characterize the chemical and microscopic structure of fly ash containing cementitious waste designed to encapsulate waste from Hanford, Washington

John D'Agata: About the mountain (WW Norton, 2010): The planned burial ground which is controversial about Yuka Nevada has been available for all the nuclear waste in the country for many years. (Mr. Obama finally ordered the project to be on hold and start a new study from scratch.Harry Reid can remind his angry voter in the next election.) Same as the way to operate the nuclear industry So, a lot of clues gather here. I plan on how you deal with this waste, how to sell the plan when no one wants it in the neighbor, or plan to make the only vulnerability planned When do you do not know the measures taken by the government?

In 1987, Yucca Mountain in Nevada province was designated as an American permanent nuclear waste disposal site. The Ministry of Energy confirmed the science behind this decision in 1994. In 2002, Congress and then George W. Bush approved Yucca Mountain again. In 2008, DOE submitted a permission application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the construction of Yucca Mountain. Today, we store nuclear waste at 121 nuclear power plants in 39 states. Approximately one quarter of the waste is kept in a dry bucket. The rest are kept in a wet pool - the same as the Fukushima area in Japan. These swimming pools are within 50 miles from New York, Chicago and San Diego. Is this really a place we want to store nuclear waste?
