Title: Comment sought on nuclear waste

[…] Mike Johnson, president of the [EnergySolutions]‘s
Commercial Facilities Group […] said the Oak Ridge [Tennessee]
facility has probably recycled about 1.5 million tons of radioactive
metals since 1996 from foreign sources including Germany, Belgium and
Canada.Rep. Bart Gordon, chairman of the U.S. House Science and Technology
Committee […] has called it a “terrible idea,” saying the United
States has enough problems disposing its own nuclear waste. […]“It sets a very bad precedent which could result in a flood of
nuclear waste being dumped in the U.S.,” said Tom Clements, a spokesman
for Friends of the Earth in Columbia, S.C. […]

Title: German waste to Oak Ridge?

Date: Dec 8, 2010
[…] NRC spokesman David McIntyre said [EnergySolutions]
has incinerated foreign waste, including shipments from Canada, Mexico
and Brazil. […]“There’ll be waste from universities, hospitals — medical facilities —
that will be shipped over, if we receive a permit from the NRC to burn
it in the incinerator and then return the ash to Germany,”
[EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker] said.The company processes relatively low-level nuclear waste, such as
workers’ protective clothing, walls, desks and other equipment from old
nuclear plants, as opposed to highly contaminated used fuel rods from
nuclear reactors. […]Democratic U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon of Murfreesboro […] said the NRC
“lacks the authority to enforce real oversight over this sensitive
process.” […]Tennessee’s two Republican U.S. senators, Bob Corker and Lamar
Alexander, said they do not object to the company incinerating foreign
waste and returning it to the originating country.

[…] “I believe them when they say it [filtration]
captures whatever 90 percent they say it captures […] ” said Don
Safer, chairman of the Tennessee Environmental Council. […]According to the NRC regulatory guide, breathing is the most common
way radioactive material is ingested. When radioactive materials do get
ingested, they most often pass through several organs and are excreted
within a few days.Irradiated material passing through a person’s body can permanently
change cells, sometimes causing cancer in the host or genetic birth
defects in an exposed person’s child. […]“It’s rare anymore to burn radioactive waste materials. How rare is
indicated by the Germans wanting to ship the stuff over here to burn
it,” [Safer] said. “It’s pretty telling that …. it even makes economic
sense to do it.” […]EnergySolutions officials said they already are treating foreign
waste from countries such as Mexico, Canada, the U.K. and Japan, making
Germany’s materials a logical expansion of what’s already being done.
[…]
Laurence Miller, a professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
- He said the facility is entirely safe and called the idea that the
German waste would raise additional health concerns “total nonsense.”- “From the standpoint of a health issue, it’s no different from what they’ve been doing”
- “If you are worried now, then why were you not worried for the last 10 years?”

Title: Tennessee Accepts Huge Shipment of German Radioactive Waste
Source: AP
Date: Jun 20, 2011
Federal authorities have approved licenses allowing up to
1,000 tons of low-level radioactive waste from Germany to be brought to
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for incineration. […]Don Safer, chairman of the Tennessee Environmental Council, told The
Chattanooga Times Free Press that the Czech government turned away the
waste […]“There’s more (radioactive) tritium in the atmosphere from cosmic
rays from the sun than what we’d ever emit from there,” EnergySolutions
spokesman Mark Walker said last March. […]Tennessee is the only state that allows commercial burning of
radioactive waste, licensing six incinerators. The state already
receives 75 percent of the nation’s low-level radioactive waste — about
41 million pounds per year, according to state records.With German waste now permitted to enter the U.S. and come to Oak
Ridge, Safer expects Tennessee to become “the destination for processing
radioactive waste from all over the world.”

Title: Tennessee Awaits Tons Of German Nuclear Waste

Oak Ridge was created from scratch in 1942 to help build
the atomic bomb. The city is home to a 59,000-acre military area and two
giant plants where the bomb was produced.A post-war newsreel calls Oak Ridge “a city where 75,000 people
worked in absolute secrecy on history’s most sensational secret.” […]Some of that waste ends up at EnergySolutions’ Bear Creek incinerator
plant in Oak Ridge […] trucks rumble in and out of the plant, leaving
behind giant dumpster-sized boxes full of low-level nuclear waste.“This is definitely typical,” EnergySolutions’ Greg Lawson says.
“It’s in and out all day long. I don’t know the average number of
shipments in and out, but there’s a lot going on every day.”
