Solid-fuel reactors are atomic pressure cookers, with the constant danger of high-pressure ruptures, meltdowns, and the forceful ejection of radioactive material into the environment.
What we're doing here is cutting down on landfill use, on possibly toxic material entering the environment, and the Rhondda's getting jobs out of it.
Even during the process we should never release any radioactive material into the surrounding environment.
Although the commission believes the total amount of radioactive material released into the environment in Japan is less than what was released from Chernobyl, it now considers the amount sufficient to warrant the highest possible designation because of two additional factors.
FORBES: Japanese Commission: Nuclear Crisis as Bad as Chernobyl
As a material highly sensitive to the environment, graphene could act as a sensor with a single device measuring strain, gas, magnetism or pressure.
Made of hardened steel that is between four and eight inches thick, the integrity of the containment vessel is critical in preventing enormous quantities of radioactive material from escaping into the environment.

Planning how to access the material without endangering workers or the environment could take months, Messrs.
First, "Benign by Design" is a call to the producer to use green chemistry to change the material to be inert in the environment.
Neat ideological labels have become harder to pin on parties since they have had to contend with the emergence of what some commentators call post-material issues (such as the environment, personal morality and consumer rights) which do not slot elegantly into the old left-right framework.
However, the economic environment and trading circumstances create material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in the future.
Design: How do we reduce the use of material (dematerialize) and impact to the environment (decarbonize)?
FORBES: A responsible supply chain is a delicate balancing act
In addition to driving the turbines to create electricity, the steam generators are "one of the barriers between the radioactive material in the reactor core and ultimately the external environment, " Jaczko noted.
Corporate clients might be harder to come by but would probably be drawn from sectors that deal with material sciences, particularly engineering or metallurgy, where a low-gravity environment would make possible types of research and production that are impossible or prohibitively expensive on Earth.
"The main goal is to try to assess this material in a very general way that will give us an appraisal of the habitability of this environment, " he explained.
In the risk off environment the yen remains in constant demand and the CBanks unlimited funding has yet to have a material weakening impact.
