Civilian Nuclear Waste Disposal
ISBN: 9781503089709 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Management of civilian radioactive waste has posed difficult issues for Congress since the beginning of the nuclear power industry in the 1950s. Federal policy is based on the premise that nuclear waste can be disposed of safely, but proposed storage and disposal facilities have frequently been challenged on safety, health, and environmental grounds. Although civilian radioactive waste encompasses a wide range of materials, most of the current debate focuses on highly radioactive spent fuel from nuclear power plants. The United States currently has no disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel....

For some parks, it is the very change in the landscape that warranted NPS designation, as is the case for Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa (EFMO). The park represents nearly 2000 years of mound building activity and associated human presence in the driftless area of northeastern Iowa along the Mississippi...
