Moving Intermediate Level Waste from Lucas Heights to another Intermediate site – dubious and possibly illegal
|
“In the unlikely event that the NRWMF is not built within 40 years, ANSTO would make a submission to ARPANSA (Section 36 of the ARPANS Act, 1998) [1] to amend the licence to extend it for a defined period of time (e.g., re-licensing at 5 year intervals). “ IF THE ILW MOVES TO REGIONAL S.AUST ‘temporarily’ AND REMAINS FOR 40 YEARS THEN A ‘HOT CELL’ WOULD BE NEEDED TO TRANSFER IT TO A NEW CONTAINER…. ANSTO estimates that the ILW may remain for 100 years “If, after 40 years, the TN 81 Transport/Storage container is deemed to be no longer suitable for storage past the initial period of 40 years, a new TN 81 Transport/Storage container would be procured. The vitrified waste containers would then be unloaded from the old container into the new TN 81 Transport/Storage container. Any such unloading and re-loading of the vitrified waste containers would be carried out in a suitably shielded hot-cell which would be purposely built and licensed for this activity ….. The NRWMF will cater for the long term above ground storage (approximately 100 years) of Intermediate Level Waste including the waste reprocessed in France and the United Kingdom. ” |

The Senate Committee has now released its Report . It is a wishy washy support for the process– quotes extensively from the submissions, but has little idea of its own. Greens Dissenting Submission packs a punch, as does Senator Rex Patrick’s Additional Comments.
Read summaries of submissions to the Senate, re the Selection process for a national radioactive waste management facility in South Australia. Each summary has a link to the full submission. Obviously the Department of Industry Innovation and Science (DIIS) was not happy with the majority of submissions opposing the process, so now are trying to get a better (for them) result
