New good source: Radioactive Wastes by operating nuclear plants

  This time I still find source from web.  I used my key words (which I posted in my blog)"waste" , "nuclear" and "org" to search source from google.  Luckily, I found one is probably credible.  I tried some many times to search a peer-view article, the article I found from database is always about how the nuclear reaction works something like that.

  This article named "Radioactive Wastes - Myths and Realities". Unfortunately, it doesn't have author. This organization provides so many good source, but I don't know why there is no author for many article. It's published online by
World Nuclear Association.

  The purpose of this article is nuclear waste of nuclear plants can't be disposed well and it caused many problems.  The main kinds of evidence used in this source is by using other report, such as "Waste Management in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle".  The article claims that "waste problem" of nuclear energy can't be solved.  Another main point is people and the environment take high risk during transporting nuclear waste.

I think this source is credible. I search the "World Nuclear Association" by google. From Wikipedia, "The World Nuclear Association (WNA) is the international organization that promotes nuclear power and supports the many companies that comprise the global nuclear industry." According to definition, I think this organization may be biased on nuclear industry, but for this article they mention the pollution of nuclear.

This article gives me some new idea.  Nuclear radiation can also contained in the waste.  Nuclear plants not only take risk from natural disaster, but also take risk from the management of "nuclear waste".

After read this article I think I still need to find out what other kinds of disadvantage or advantage of nclear power.  For the next post I would like to find something about "nonrenewable".
