rbohlsen, thanks for that post. You really are a 'mine' of information on these matters. Like the radiation in the ash from the coal fired boilers. Yep. They keep that quiet.

What might your opinion be then on the idea of Australia running a safe nuclear depository, maybe storing the rods (after reprocessing of course)say at great, GDY, sort of depths where it was believed there is no ground water and even if there should be it would have no connection with artesian or other more shallow reserves and that would ever reach the surface or be sourced for human or animal use etc.
(Yeah,ok,- cerainly not in high pressure super hot overpressured granites.)
Plus Kashga's plan of rods having registered numbers and replacements only supplied on an exchange basis.
Let's ignore the risks of an accident during transpot for now.

Great post. I am giving it a vote.
