Nuclear Decommissioning: Decommission nuclear facilities - World Nuclear Association

http://world-nuclear.org/info/inf19.html

Conversion Enrichment and Fabrication. Current and Future Generation. Energy and the Environment. To date, about 110 commercial power reactors, 46 experimental or prototype reactors, over 250 research reactors and a number of fuel cycle facilities have been retired from operation. Some of these have been fully dismantled. Most parts of a nuclear power plant do not become radioactive, or are contaminated at only very low levels. Most of the metal can be recycled. Immediate Dismantling (or Early Site Relea...

Conversion Enrichment and Fabrication. Current and Future Generation. Energy and the Environment. Greenhouse gas emissions avoided. Greenhouse gas emissions avoided through use of nuclear energy. There are many different electrical generation methods, each having advantages and disadvantages with respect to operational cost, environmental impact, and other factors. The World Nuclear Association carried out a review. In 2011 the worlds nuclear power plants supplied 2518 TWh (billion kWh) of electricity&#4...

How uranium ore is made into nuclear fuel - World Nuclear Association

http://www.world-nuclear.org/Nuclear-Basics/How-is-uranium-ore-made-into-nuclear-fuel-

Conversion Enrichment and Fabrication. Current and Future Generation. Energy and the Environment. How is uranium made into nuclear fuel? How uranium ore is made into nuclear fuel. Uranium mines operate in some twenty countries, though about half of world production comes from just ten mines in six countries, in Canada, Australia, Niger, Kazakhstan, Russia and Namibia. However, nearly half the worlds mines now use a mining method called in situ leaching . This means that the mining is accomplished wit...

What is Radiation - World Nuclear Association

http://www.world-nuclear.org/Nuclear-Basics/What-is-radiation-

Conversion Enrichment and Fabrication. Current and Future Generation. Energy and the Environment. Radiation is energy travelling through space. Sunshine is one of the most familiar forms of radiation. It delivers light, heat and suntans. While enjoying and depending on it, we control our exposure to it. Beyond ultraviolet radiation from the sun are higher-energy kinds of radiation which are used in medicine and which we all get in low doses from space, from the air, and from the earth and rocks. Backgrou...

Radioactive Waste Management | Nuclear Waste Disposal - World Nuclear Association

http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf04.html

Conversion Enrichment and Fabrication. Current and Future Generation. Energy and the Environment. Nuclear power is the only large-scale energy-producing technology which takes full responsibility for all its wastes and fully costs this into the product. The amount of radioactive wastes is very small relative to wastes produced by fossil fuel electricity generation. Used nuclear fuel may be treated as a resource or simply as a waste. It is internalised and paid for by the electricity consumers. Unlike oth...
