  • High-Level Nuclear Wastes and the Environment: Analyses of Challenges and Engineering Strategies
    World Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2012, 2, 89-105 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/wjnst.2012.23015 Published Online July 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/wjnst) High-Level Nuclear Wastes and the Environment: Analyses of Challenges and Engineering Strategies Mukhtar Ahmed Rana Physics Division, Directorate of Science, PINSTECH, Islamabad, Pakistan Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received February 11, 2012; revised April 2, 2012; accepted April 19, 2012 ABSTRACT The main objective of this paper is to analyze the current status of high-level nuclear waste disposal along with presen- tation of practical perspectives about the environmental issues involved. Present disposal designs and concepts are ana- lyzed on a scientific basis and modifications to existing designs are proposed from the perspective of environmental safety. A new concept of a chemical heat sink is introduced for the removal of heat emitted due to radioactive decay in the spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste, and thermal spikes produced by radiation in containment materi- als. Mainly, UO2 and metallic U are used as fuels in nuclear reactors. Spent nuclear fuel contains fission products and transuranium elements which would remain radioactive for 104 to 108 years. Essential concepts and engineering strate- gies for spent nuclear fuel disposal are described. Conceptual designs are described and discussed considering the long-term radiation and thermal activity of spent nuclear fuel. Notions of physical and chemical barriers to contain nu- clear waste are highlighted. A timeframe for nuclear waste disposal is proposed and time-line nuclear waste disposal plan or policy is described and discussed.

Since the condition limits all forms of interaction between individuals, companies, and even between countries, economic growth is hindered. With more than a third of the global population experiencing a lockdown, it is evident that the virus is causing permanent changes in the global economy.3 The pandemic was first introduced in Wuhan, China, in December of 2019.4 With the virus being extremely contagious, it can be spread in numerous ways: close contact between 1 Statement on the second meeting of the International

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.
