People don't know that one of the first symptoms of radioactive cesium poisoning is cardiac arrhythmia. The body uptake it a mistakes it for potassium. In the heart it kills nerve nodes that set off heart beats. I go to the heart doctor because I have an arrhythmia and there was usually around half dozen patients waiting to see the arrhythmia specialist. The radioactive cloud from Fukushima drifted directly over Hawaii where I live and we got more radiation than Tokyo. A couple of months after it passed over the doctor office was packed with more than 2 dozen people coming down with heart arrhythmias.

[@Globovoyeur]

Can you give us a source for the link between cesium-137 and heart arryhymias? The only one I found is from Professor Yuri I. Bandazhevsky of Russia. I'm not sure I trust it.

[@Diamonddavej]

This is a lie. This is based on a discredited paper by husband-and-wife team Yury Bandazhevsky and Galina Bandazhevskaya, who wanted to sell a radiation cure based on apple pectin; they falsely claimed that very low levels of radioactivity from Ceasium-137 causes cardiac issue in children, these false claims were exposed as they relied on ludicrous assumption that lower levels of radiation were more dangerous than higher levels of radiation, i.e. radiation effects got worse at lower doses! The levels of radiation they claimed caused cardiac issues were as low as 50 Bq per kg, this 62 times less radioactive than a banana! Subsequently, the radiation charlatan Chris Busby was caught flogging radiation cure in Japan in 2011 that he sold on his website, 4U-detox, for $80 a bottle labelled (in Japanese) labelled Busby Laboratories, Formula 1, Christopher Busby Foundation for The Children of Fukushima, and backed up his nonsense with Bandazhevsky and Bandazhevskaya's paper. A reporter discovered these $80 bottles were relabelled magnesium supplements, that should have cost no more than $8 a bottle, and were available in every chemist and health store in Japan. Beware of grifters and charlatans making money of radiophobia.

This means that it must be disposed of in a way that will prevent it from harming people and the environment for many generations to come. It is a difficult to manage. Radioactive waste is difficult to contain and transport. This makes it a challenge to find safe and secure disposal sites. It is a costly problem. The cost of managing radioactive waste is high.

Thank you so much for collating the information for this documentary. Many years ago, I attended the visitor attraction at Windscale in the UK. On the tour bus the guide was ever so proud when she explained how they re-processed waste (from many countries) and the bus followed the series of buildings demonstrating the various stages of waste treatment. At the end of the line of buildings it was explained how they proudly made the waste smaller and smaller. I shouted out the question: "What happens after that?" The tour guide actually said - "We don't know". Yup. Concentrating the waste down smaller but making it more concentrated and lethal and they actually couldn't do anything with it!!

Used MOX is also less tractable as waste. Those actinides again, including U232, which has a sixty year half life and immediate daughters that emit high energy gamma photons.

[@annegajerski-cauley7624]

What I can add as a nuclear engineer and physicist is that the requirements to store for 200,000 yrs are based on an almost ridiculously conservative estimate - that the fission products will be present in significant amounts after that long. Well before that time time they will have decayed to levels of activity well below natural levels. What happens frequently is that concern of actinides and certain few long-lived non-actinides species will still exist after a 1/4 million years. While technically true, this has always been poorly explained: for an isotope to live THAT long means its activity per unit atom is very small, such that very large amounts of bulk amount of animal intake of dirt would be required to constitute a hazard from that. On a very optimistic side, it's been said by the pro-nuclear side that reactors serve as artificial nuclear cleaners of the earth's crust, in that they "burn" the long-lived actinides (e.g, U-235) which have always been with us into short lived fission products. I'm not sure I am THAT sanguine about this argument. best regards, DKB

[@grgmetube]

Although after 200,000 yrs the radiation would be below natural levels, it would still be a very long time at dangerous levels. Would there theoretically be any way to speed up the decay? Are thorium reactors able to do this? What is the radioactive waste like from thorium reactors? I suppose if Thorium reactors produce only short lived radioactive waste they need to start from a different fuel than the waste from conventional reactors. Is that true?

[@annegajerski-cauley7624]

Hello good sir To answer you directly, we need to talk fission products specifically. No, there is no important difference in the isotope-by-isotope yield from thorium fission. You are being given a red herring though - as breeding systems, one forces a full burn of the actinides, if the thorium cycle is as efficient as designers claim, so to a large extent the long-half-live material problem doesn't appear. Strip-out of the light atomic number fission products is still a required task, and even sacrifice of much neutron efficiency for in-situ transmutation of these is a complex and difficult process not likely to ever be economically viable. The thorium cycle is not a panacea. regards, DKB

[@aaroncosier735]

My understanding is that the very long storage periods are not determined by the fission products as by the bombardment products, the Actinides. These will be present with an abundance and a range of isotopes not found in nature. Articles that discuss separated wastes show that ordinary fission products may only require a few thousand years, but that the concentrated actinides will still require very long time frames. The activity may be low, but the concentration is far above anything in nature. If containment fails, the intake in exposed biomes will not necessarily be low. Escaping materials will be restricted to a particular aquifer, affecting downstream ecosystems disproportionately. We have a reasonable duty to see that avoided. At least as great a duty as to any flag or nation. Such disposal is *expensive*. The clue comes from how many times we are told it is easy, while watching the industry, the US military and entire wealthy nations wriggle and squirm to avoid picking up that hot potato. It's more expensive than it looks. The argument that reactors "clean up" actinides is obviously false. The U235 in ores has acceptably low fission rates, and the fission products do not accumulate. A reactor accumulates products much faster than they decay, a real pig in the python. A reactor also "breeds". Totally ordinary U238 that might well have lasted the age of the universe as ore gets turned into plutonium in a reactor. This would not happen in the original ore as the overall concentration is too low. Recycling as MOX gives us even more plutonium back, not less, plus some very awkward U232. This stuff is piling up everywhere that bothers to reprocess. At La Hague for sure. At Sellafield. Who knows about Russia, but they certainly have plenty. I agree that Thorium is no guaranteed saviour. As you state, fission products still need to be removed and disposed. Actinides *may* be able to be burned, but at some cost to the neutron economy, meaning good fissiles get used up faster than if used optimally.

@@grgmetube Sorry to take so long to reply ( notification e-mails are going to my wife's account.) To answer directly, I am not at all depressed by anything really as much as the response of an un-informed electorate. We have a robust nuclear industry in Ontario that, for decades, has been putting out the majority of our power need. We have had no notable problems: no power excursions, no significant down time (with on-line refueling), etc., and I trust Canadians here are grateful for that. But if one starts a conversation on deep (geological) disposal, no one wants to consider it. Very ironic given that vast areas of Canadian shield craton that we posses to inject that into. Our waste, especially if only the fission-product component, would occupy an incredibly insignificant portion of the volume of that enormous geology. So, our spent fuel ponds fill just like in almost every other jurisdiction in the world: cowardly governments that will tend instantly to superficial ideas regarding carbon reduction for voter attention, but not the sensible responsibilities otherwise in their hands. best regards DKB

[@LordSandwichII]

Can someone explain to me where this 200,000 year number comes from? There are two main components of spent nuclear fuel: Caesium 137 and Iodine 131. Iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days, so it's essentially gone after a few months, leaving mostly Caesium 137. This has a half-life of 30 years and decays to Barium 137, which is stable. As an example, lets look at the mass of corium from Chernobyl, sometimes referred to as the Elephant's Foot, which is comprised of spent fuel from the melted-down reactor. At the time of the event, the Elephant's Foot had a radioactivity of around 8-10,000 roentgens. Using this figure we can estimate that the time taken to decay below background levels of 1.5 mSv (converting the units as necessary, of course!) is 30 half lives, or 900 years. This is a long time, no doubt, but a far cry from 200,000 years...

The alternative to nuclear waste (which decays) is to have a volume of non-decaying heavy metal waste from solar panels and wind turbine production (stuff that never goes away and is not strictly managed AT ALL). After the time that you have stated, the nuclear waste is no more dangerous in the ground than a vein of asbestos or mercuric ore (don't eat it, don't drill your well in it), and almost as dangerous as the uranium it came from (itself far less toxic than either lead or mercury).

[@aaroncosier735]

Yes, Spent Fuel waste is carefully handled. And stored with constant cooling and ongoing maintenance, at great ongoing expense. However, *ALL* such wastes are still in temporary storage. For that storage to fail in foreseeable timeframes requires nothing but neglect. War, plague, economic collapse. Who will volunteer to maintain these facilities in the absence of payment? Who will abandon their families in plague or surrender a war just to get back to the serious business of maintaining a Spent Fuel Pool? Good faith requires at least a reasonable attempt. That would require a substantial fraction already interred, and a dependable timeline on the balance, plus provision to complete that work even under dire conditions. No such attempt has been made, and no such good faith has been demonstrated.

The reasons nuclear power is still not safe many but greed and political influence are at the head of the list.

We need to sort the good from the bad for nuclear power because we need it. You're talking about nuclear waste from decades ago. This is not the nuclear industry today. Rigorous safety protocols can be put in place, and I have no doubt that the corruption that led to all this pollution can be addressed if we have the will.

About Japan's nuclear contaminated water treatment device (ALPS), it is a nuclear contaminated water filtration device made by Toshiba in Japan. First, this device was the first of its kind in the world and had no prior examples, related usage experience, or data to support it, nor were there any relevant experimental analysis reports. It relies solely on Japan's unilateral statements. Second, the filtration effectiveness is strictly controlled by Japan, and even the International Atomic Energy Agency cannot directly inspect it. They can only examine samples submitted by Japan. Third, the technical data for the filtration device is too vague, making it necessary to estimate that multiple filtrations may be needed to effectively reduce harm. Fourth, the consumables for the filtration device are not cheap, and it is impossible to verify if Japan can strictly perform multiple filtrations. Fifth, Japan refuses real-time monitoring of its treatment results by any party. As seen in the news, neither the International Atomic Energy Agency nor South Korea, China, Russia, or Japan allows monitoring of treatment results. Sixth, as stated in the International Atomic Energy Agency assessment report: 1) The International Atomic Energy Agency explicitly states that the report does not support Japan's ocean discharge claim. They are not foolish and do not want to bear a thousand-year reputation. 2) The greater diplomatic and political instability caused by Japan's ocean discharge is something they have long anticipated. They have subtly expressed that Japan's actions are not under their guidance and control, and more; this is a matter of speculation. Seventh, although the United States supports Japan's ocean discharge behind the scenes, they had already started prohibiting the import of Japanese seafood before the ocean discharge. These can be verified through news sources. Eighth, this is also one of the most concerning issues: isn't the United States concerned about polluting the ocean with nuclear contaminated water?! According to ocean current predictions, most of the contaminated water flows toward the west coast of the United States. However, when the contaminated water reaches the west coast of the United States, its radiation levels are not significantly worse than the nuclear contamination produced by the west coast of the United States itself. The radiation index on the west coast of the United States is already severely exceeded, but the range is not large. So, what's the key to this issue?! The key is that the United States is only polluting a small part of its own land on the west coast, while Japan is contaminating the entire world's oceans at nearly the same level. This is also the origin of the statement often made by the Japanese, "Europeans and Americans can eat radioactive food, why can't Asians?" Japanese would rather spend 70 billion yen to eliminate the negative impact of public opinion, even adding compensation for fishermen’s losses and trade losses, than spend 34 billion yen to safely process nuclear-contaminated water. It seems like they intend to drag the entire world into their mistakes, letting future generations of the world bear the consequences and harming the world’s oceans with their errors! So, personally, I believe: we can do without Japan, but we can’t do without the ocean!

Increasingly, I'm starting to think that spent fuel is not the main problem with nuclear activities. After a decade or two, you can put spent fuel in dry cask storage. Theoretically, something could happen to those casks during the hundred thousand years or so that it would take for the Pu-239 to decay away. But those casks are stored at the plant, and that whole plant must be guarded and monitored until it is fully decommissioned and everything is taken away, and that involves a much larger mass of material than just the fuel rods. In general, there are vastly larger quantities of lower-level waste than the fairly limited mass of the spent fuel (although that alone still amounts to something like 10,000 tonnes per year).
