Re: Radioactive Recycling

Radsafers,

The recycling option must be looked at with a few things in mind.  First is
the question  of whether the metals to be reprocessed are in short suppy, i.e.
are they necessary in a specific industry?  Secondly, is the cost of recycling
economical, can the industry in need stand the cost?  Thirdly, is the disposal
as is out of the question or just not desireable?  Also, what appears to be
the Risk associated with both recycle and disposal as is?  

If recycle appears to be desireable then lets recycle within the Nuclear
Industry.  Rad waste container spent fuel shipping containers and storage
facilities, and components of power plant systems.

It does not appear prudent to recycle into consumer goods.
