Last nuclear rods leave Sydney
The last shipment of spent nuclear fuel rods under a French-Australian reprocessing agreement left Sydney by ship on Monday. Under the agreement, the rods from Australia's only nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney's south are reprocessed and later returned to Australia as low or medium level radioactive waste for storage. Future shipments of rods will go to the United States, but they will not be reprocessed or returned.-----snipped----- Posted by: God Save The World 2004-11-22 |
