The csfsf in Ukraine: a vault or a nuclear dump under the noses of the EU?

International nuclear safety experts are again sounding the alarm about the joint american-ukrainian project facility. A wave of indignation swept last year after news Ukraine's readiness to accept the nuclear waste of the United States. This time his doubts on behalf of specialists from the ministry of energy of Poland was expressed by the director of the department of atomic energy, joseph sobolewski, in his letter addressed to the deputy director of the iaea's juan carlos lentijo. the problem of nuclear waste disposal is facing the world since the peaceful atom. It would seem that the Ukraine back in 2005 he found the perfect place for the disposal of waste from its nuclear power plants in the chernobyl exclusion zone.

This project was supported by the american company holtec international. However, the prospect of a nuclear repository for spent fuel on the territory of Ukraine, as well as the participation of us representatives in the ukrainian nuclear energy sector, has caused serious concern among experts from around the world. due to the close neighbourhood with Ukraine and Poland, more than any other, have reason for such fears. So, sobolewski, in his letter mentions the unstable situation in the country and fears that the facility will be used for other purposes, and the unusual design of future storage. Indeed, despite extensive theoretical plans into practice known units of storage of nuclear waste in containers on the earth's surface.

For example, at the site of zaporizhzhya npp. In addition, the company holtec international is known for his numerous but unsuccessful attempts to adapt american fuel assemblies for obsolete ukrainian nuclear power plant is not rebuilt since the soviet era. Besides its proposed storage containers also are experimental, never before have not been used. In fact, the us is not the first decade uses Ukraine as a testing ground for the most risky tests of various nuclear technologies. Not surprisingly, the american presence once the ukrainian nuclear power project so unnerving polish specialists.

Especially alarming is the substitution of a number of concepts. In fact, the purpose of the facility is not recycling waste from its nuclear power plants, according to ukrainian officials, but only their temporary storage. Moreover, according to the agreement, the spent fuel will be brought not only from Ukraine but from the usa. Disturbing the sobolev probability of sabotage on such an important strategic object and turns does the future store in the banal burial ground, afraid of what the opponents of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. once again the United States involve Ukraine in risky, poorly planned adventure, which she readily conducted.

Guided only by political motives, the authorities in Kiev are ready to jeopardize not only the safety of their fellow citizens, but also the health of millions of residents of neighboring states.
