Used fuel from PWR and PHWR is not a problem . The fuel is placed in 70 ton steel and concrete flasks . Nothing is getting out and nobody is going to carry one away .
All the used fuel from eight reactors at the Bruce Site since 1977. Will fit into eight hockey arena sized sheds .
As for radioactive for millions of years . Sounds like you dont know what you are taking about .
Everything is radioactive , it is just a matter of how much . Are you panicked regarding the natural TH232, U235 and U238 being radioactive on the ground for millions of years ? Thousands of counts on the natural ore . Are you upset it will take millions of years to decay ?
The used fuel after 300 years has decayed enough that you can sit on a bundle for half an hour without exceeding your annual dose limit .
btw that used fuel can all be used in molten salt or liquid metal reactors . To date PWR instead of
Alternates have been built in the US because the retired navy staff operating them were
originally trained on military PWR
You should hear the complete and utter lies being told regarding the proposed underground storage near Teeswater .
The antis painted some dented 45 gallon barrels yellow and added the radioactive trefoil symbol in black . They heaped the barrels up for display on the beach , took pictures and told everyone it was a nuclear dump .They also photoshopped some municipal landfill images . To make people think that radioactive waste was being buried a few feet from the surface in the water table .
The proposed storage is so far below ground in a stable non porous rock formation . There is no way radio could reach the lake . Even if a fuel flask ever rusted through .
If you want something to worry about . How about toxic heavy metal that will never go away . Mercury ,lead , arsenic do no decay away ever . Where is your outrage and how well is that waste stored ? Ever heard of dioxins ? Now there is something really nasty that you should be upset about .

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
