[ RadSafe ] Three Mile Island - Plutonium 239 - The Roy Process -

[Roger Helbig]

Is there anything sound to this guy's process - or is he another charlatan?

 

Letter to the Editor,

 

In 1979, after the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant meltdown, Dr Roy
spent the summer break from A.S.U. to see if it was feasible to backwards
engineer so-called spent fuel (nuclear waste). He found photon transmutation
would work and reduce plutonium 239, the aim of nuclear power plants, to
zero radioactivity. Other isotopes also by the same method. It can be done
with current technology cost effectively. Dr. Roy estimated costs at $80
million dollars for the pilot treatment plant at each nuclear reactor where
the waste is stored in cooling ponds. Use the same steam powered electric
generators to produce electricity from the heat. Then president Ronald
Reagan signed the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act, which made burial of
nuclear waste, federal policy. This put alternatives like photon
transmutation (the Roy Process) in limbo. It is still available in the form
of a Patent application, apparatus and theory.
