Secure spent nuclear fuel rods in dry passive storage
Secure spent nuclear fuel rods in dry passive storage
The Issue
The greatest near term threat to humanity is reactor fuel pond No. 4. International aid for the stabilization of the Fukushima-Daichi site is needed, to place all of its spent reactor fuel into dry, hardened storage casks. This will require about 244 additional casks at a cost of about $1 million per cask. To accomplish this goal, an international effort is required – something that Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has called for. As we have learned, despite the enormous destruction from the earthquake and tsunami at the Dai-Ichi Site, the nine dry casks and their contents were unscathed. This is an important lesson we should not ignore.
