Intensity of radioactivity is more important than the volume of nuclear wastes

Dennis Matthews, 27 March 14 When talking about nuclear waste the relevant measure of the amount of waste is the amount of radioactivity. Unlike many other wastes, volume and mass are secondary considerations.

By stressing the volume of waste the nuclear industry distracts us from the real problem.

I seem to recall that the nuclear explosive in Indian nuclear weapons (sorry “devices”) were made from material produced in reactors using thorium.
