Actinides and the Environment
This is a collection of articles (around 10-15 pages each) related to the siting of a geologic repository for the nation's spent nuclear fuel. I read most (skimmed the rest) of the articles whilst writing a paper on legal issues surrounding the interim storage of SNF. This work definitely succeeds in showing the positives and negatives of a high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain and it is particularly applicable to read it now, when the Obama administration is attempting to block the funding for continued work at the site.
Though I am still undecided about what the ultimate solution should be for our humongous storage problem, this problem won't be going away anytime soon. I mean, Yucca Mountain was supposed to open in 1998 and last time I checked it was/is 2010. I don't see the relevance of this book dissipating in the near future.
