State: Just a few hundred yards from Lake Robinson lies an old waste pond that, until this year, was among the least of Duke Energys worries in the Carolinas. The pond had virtually dried up and, as coal ash basins go, didnt appear to present the same threat to groundwater, rivers or lakes that other ash basins do, environmentalists say. But documents that have surfaced recently show the unlined 55-acre basin has leaked arsenic and it has the unusual legacy of being a dump site for low-level nuclear...

Reuters: Among the usual commercials for beer, noodles and cars on South Korean TV, one item stands in marked contrast. A short film by a government advisory body carries a stark message: the nation faces a crisis over storing its spent nuclear fuel after running reactors for decades. The world's fifth-largest user of nuclear power has around 70 percent, or nearly 9,000 tonnes, of its used fuel stacked in temporary storage pools originally intended to hold it for five or six years, with some sites due...
