Spent nuclear fuel moved by road from ANSTO to Port Kembla in late-night operation
Bega District News, Murray Trembath 30 July 18, “……..
ANSTO said the spent fuel was being shipped overseas in state-of-the-art cask for reprocessing.
“This will involve:
- “Extraction many kilograms of uranium and plutonium for recycling in energy and research programs only (in line with the relevant government-level treaties); and
- “Immobilisation of the remaining non-recoverable waste in glass, in a process called vitrification, which ensures safe and stable behaviour.”……..https://www.begadistrictnews.com.au/news/national/5555516/nuclear-waste-shipment-leaves-lucas-heights/
