Russia Unveils Detailed Plans To Build 21 New Nuclear Power Units By 2030

21. This is like pulling teeth....

You are saying that Plutonium and other unstable radio-nucleotides do not produce high levels of radioactivity for centuries or even millennia.


This is like pulling teeth!!

NO - if you reprocess / recyle; then the Plutonium gets recycled back to the reactor where it serves as FUEL. The Plutonium fissions.

When that happens; it is no longer long-lived Plutonium; it is short-lived fission products.

If you read the interview with nuclear physicist Dr. Charles Till of Argonne National Lab:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/reaction/interviews/till.html

Q: And you repeat the process.

A: Eventually, what happens is that you wind up with only fission products, that the waste is only fission products that have, most have lives of hours, days, months, some a few tens of years. There are a few very long-lived ones that are not very radioactive.

Do you read the part where Dr. Till says the waste becomes ONLY fission products

If the waste becomes only fission products; then that means it is NOT Plutonium. Plutonium is NOT a fission product.

Plutonium is a fuel. Fission products are the "ash".

I don't know WHERE you found me making the rest of the FALSE claims you refer to.

OH - I forgot; you can just MAKE UP stuff to support your argument.
