Laptop Battery Residents living in close proximity to a nuclear power plant may be interested in a new option for storing nuclear waste far away from their back yards, says one nuclear fuel waste expert.

Thinkpad From the standpoint of New Jersey residents, ideally all nuclear fuel waste, which remains radioactive for thousands of years, would be loaded into canisters and immediately shipped out of state, rather than stored at the nuclear plant in storage overpacks, said Dr. Kris Singh, president and CEO of Holtec International, based in Marlton.
Some rooms offer a balcony, some have a kitchenette and on request we place a laptop at your disposal.
Microsoft Until recently, such an option did not exist -- now it's close to being a reality.

Laptop Computers Progress with the Yucca Mountain fuel storage site, a federal government initiative, has been held up by a number of court challenges. "It's going to take quite some time," Singh said.

Laptop Computer A group of nuclear utilities, trading under the name Private Fuel Storage (PFS) LLC, at work since the mid-1990s, has nearly cleared federal regulatory hurdles to establish a central storage facility in the desolate, lifeless desert in southern Utah known as Skull Valley. The private facility is widely expected to be approved by the Atomic Safety Licensing Board in early December.

Desktop Computer The Skull Valley location should begin accepting loaded canisters in less than two years. The federal government has licensed Skull Valley to accept only Holtec International's canisters. If a utility buys another company's technology, the option to ship the fuel out-of-state will be foreclosed for the near future.
Notebooks A nuclear plant that purchases Holtec's dry storage system will strictly need to use the storage pad on its plant site as a temporary holding station, between scheduled rail shipments.
Lenovo A temporary storage cask, small enough to be loaded into a special rail car, will be used for transport.
Hard Drive The rail car would maintain a speed of 35 miles per hour or less, though tests have proved even in a head-on collision at 50 mph, the contents would still not be exposed.
Travelstar Used nuclear fuel is highly radioactive -- a person would die within seconds from exposure.
Gateway New Jersey's four nuclear reactors produce power by burning fuel assemblies, or long rods of uranium and other radioactive materials, in the reactor -- including Hope Creek and two Salem units on Artificial Island, owned by PSEG.
Laptop Parts After the fuel is used up, it's stored in water-filled pools located inside the plant.
Software However, the pools, originally designed as a temporary storage space, are filling up since the recycling of used fuel ceased in the U.S in the 1970s. The utilities now must begin moving the extremely dangerous used fuel into dry storage in order to remain open.
Hard Drives Dry storage consists of securing used fuel into specially engineered, stainless steel canisters and storing them inside massive devices called storage overpacks, which are kept outside on a concrete pad at the plant site.
Electronics Holtec's storage casks are designed to be indestructible. "You can shoot a missile at it, you can fly a plane into it -- it isn't going to give off any radioactivity," Singh said.
Canon Yet, while the storage casks are "terrorist-proof," Singh said many nuclear plants close to large populations have expressed interest in transporting used fuel off-site as an even better option over dry storage.
Desktop Pc Not everyone shares Singh's enthusiasm.
Desktop Computers Shipping nuclear waste off-site presents a number of serious concerns, said Norm Cohen, coordinator for Unplug Salem, a network of 100 organizations that aim to shut down the plant.
Think Pad The group, which started in the mid-1990s, serves as a safety and health watchdog while the plant remains open.
Repair In shipping the spent fuel, "odds are there will be a major accident," said Cohen. He added that Unplug Salem would prefer spent fuel stays on-site, rather than having 60 tons of nuclear waste crossing the country by rail, vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
Data Recovery A terrorist group could hijack and open a transport cask, exposing deadly radiation, or use it to blackmail a city.
Cisco "I don't believe anything is terrorist-proof," Cohen said.
Keyboard Uplug Salem advocates dry storage on the plant site, protected by guards in a secure facility, or, ideally, phasing out nuclear power altogether.
Monitor PSEG, which operates three nuclear reactors on Artificial Island, is "pursuing on-site dry cask storage to accommodate its spent fuel storage needs," said Skip Sindoni, spokesperson for PSEG Nuclear.
Desktop Storage pools at the three units will be filled to capacity before Yucca Mountain opens. Hope Creek will run out of space by 2007, Salem Unit 1 by 2011 and Unit 2 by 2015.
Infosys Scientists are working on new techniques that will render spent fuel harmless, but these processes are still too costly or energy consuming to be worthwhile.
Refurbished Laptops Cohen said he'd rather nuclear plants explored these options before transporting fuel.
