Nuclear Havesting

Disadvantages

The greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear fission power are much smaller
than those associated with coal, oil and gas, and the routine health risks are
much smaller than those associated with coal. However, there is a "catastrophic
risk" potential if containment fails,[1] which in nuclear reactors can be brought
about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission
products into the environment. This potential risk could wipe out the benefits.
The most long-lived radioactive wastes, including spent nuclear fuel, must be
contained and isolated from the environment for a long period of time. On the
other side, spent nuclear fuel could be reused, yielding even more energy, and
reducing the amount of waste to be contained. The public has been made
sensitive to these risks and there has been considerable public opposition to
nuclear power.
 Radioactive waste
The spent nuclear fuel from uranium-235 and plutonium-239 nuclear fission contains a
wide variety of carcinogenic radionuclide isotopes such as strontium-90, iodine-
131 and caesium-137, and includes some of the most long-lived transuranic
elements such as americium-241 and isotopes of plutonium The most long-lived
radioactive wastes, including spent nuclear fuel, are usually managed to be contained
and isolated from the environment for a long period of time. Spent nuclear fuel storage
is mostly a problem in the United States, following a 1977 President Jimmy
Carter prohibition to nuclear fuel recycling. France, Great Britain and Japan, are some
of the countries which rejected the repository solution. Spent nuclear fuel is a valuable
asset, not simply waste Disposal of these wastes in engineered facilities, or
repositories, located deep underground in suitable geologic formations is seen as the
reference solution. The International Panel on Fissile Materials has said:
Other waste

Moderate amounts of low-level waste are through chemical and volume control
system (CVCS). This includes gas, liquid, and solid waste produced through the
process of purifying the water through evaporation. Liquid waste is reprocessed
continuously, and gas waste is filtered, compressed, stored to allow decay, diluted,
and then discharged. The rate at which this is allowed is regulated and studies must
prove that such discharge does not violate dose limits to a member of the public
Solid waste can be disposed of simply by placing it where it will not be disturbed for
a few years. There are three low-level waste disposal sites in the United States in
South Carolina, Utah, and Washington.Solid waste from the CVCS is combined with
solid radwaste that comes from handling materials before it is buried off-site
First Flush Pipe
A first flush arrangement is made to avoid
the entering unwanted materials such as
debris, dirt, dust, bird dropping, leaves
collected on roof into storage tank.
This is a simple manually operated system
with a valve below T junction.
