  • 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.

Organized by the Mohatta Palace Museum in collaboration with the Dawn Group of Newspapers, the exhibition is titled Jewel in the Crown: Karachi under the Raj 1843 - 1947. Opening the exhibition, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz announced a one-time grant of Rs10 million for the Mohatta Palace Museum. He observed that fund-raising was an art, and exhibition co- curator Hameed Haroon excelled in it. He also appreciated the manner in which exhibits had been put on display. The prime minister recalled that he had spent most of his youth in Karachi, adding that the city has become a bustling metropolis. Earlier, Mr Haroon recalled that the exhibition had first been held as part of Dawn's All about lifestyle show the previous year. "Judging from the response of the people of the city - 25,000 visitors in 36 hours - we decided to expand the exhibition, with an accent on the achievements of the sons of Karachi, including Sir Abdullah Haroon, the Aga Khan and Quaid-i- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah," he said. He added that when the exhibition was formally launched after Ramazan, it would be accompanied by 24 CDs and 18 books, documenting the history of Karachi as well as the southern part of the country.
