Nuclear Waste Repository Set to Reopen After Leak
2014-02-26 02:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Almost two weeks after an unexplained puff of radioactive materials forced the closing of a salt mine in New Mexico that is used to bury nuclear bomb wastes, managers of the mine are planning to send workers back in and are telling nearby residents that their health is safe. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, 28 miles east of Carlsbad, has been in operation for 15 years, burying wastes in an ancient salt bed deep beneath the desert, mostly without incident, and some experts have said that the site...

United Kingdom: Risk of nuclear leak sparks call installation of flood defences
2014-02-23 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Managers of a nuclear waste dump on the Cumbria coast have been ordered to start preparations to defend the site against floods and erosion, amid fears that radioactive material could one day leak into the sea. Much of the waste buried in vaults and concrete trenches at the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) near the village of Drigg originates from one of the world's most contaminated nuclear sites, Sellafield, a few miles away. The waste dump is expected ultimately to require protective flood...

United Kingdom: Nuclear leaks bill will be paid by taxpayer
2014-02-23 01:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The private consortium that will manage the decommissioning of Britain's ageing Magnox nuclear reactors will not be held financially liable if they suffer a major radioactive incident even if it costs billions of pounds to clear up, it has emerged. The government will indemnify the private contractors, which means the taxpayer will be left to foot the bill for any leak, a similar arrangement to how things stand now. Critics complain that granting the multimillion-pound contract to a private...
