[ RadSafe ] RE: SOMETHING ABOUT NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE AND THE WASTE

[conrad]

The seminal article is by bernie cohen, published in sci american many
years ago.  Irradiating u in a reactor actually makes the matrial less
radiotoxic, the article is at least 20 years old, I wish I had a copy,

Happy Chinese New Year!

I'm looking for radiation dose rate or risk or sort of hazard index
about nuclear fuel or reactor core as a comparison study before and
after been irradiated (i.e., used) in a reactor.  Moreover, I wish to
know for a typical spent fuel core, how many years is required to cool
off, when the radiation hazard is no worst then its beginning (i.e.,
before loaded into the reactor conditions).  

I hope this is clear so you can guide me to all useful references.

Thanking you in advance, 
Casper
