Ways to preventNuclear waste can be prevented in many ways. The transportation vehicles can be better protected with armored vehicles. The storage mountain can be better protected with protection people. The storage containers can be lined with lead. The lead will protect the workers handling the uranium form radiation.
The Nuclear waste is transported using large Semi trucks. These trucks should be better protected with undercover military vehicles. These vehicles would be there to protect against terrorist attacks. The storage mountains should also be protected from the same attacks. The Attacks can be a devastating attack on american soil, and would go down in history as one of the greatest terrorist attacks. The tanks that the used uranium rods are held in should be lined with lead. The lead would protect the storage house workers from radiation. Radiation in small amounts can be good for you in x-rays and such. In large amounts, or small amounts over a long period of time can kill you. To keep the workers save they should also wear full radiation suits. These things are very important. Keeping the workers safe in the transportation process is necessary so they will do the job. The job is necessary so it must be done by someone. If the workers are not happy because they do not feel safe no one will want to do the job. These tactics can be used to protect the workers and keep them happy. Nuclear warfare |
Potential ThreatsThe Nuclear waste is transported using large Semi trucks. Many things can go wrong on one of these trucks. If the truck blows out a tire the cargo could potentially fall off and leak out into the environment. The truck could get attacked by a terrorist, breaking the tanks and leaking out the waste. Making the surrounding area uninhabitable.
The idea of attacking a nuclear waste management plant could be devastating to the surrounding civilization. If one of these management plants were to be destroyed and the waste leaked out it would release mass amounts of radiation. The radiation would make the surrounding areas uninhabitable. And the people living there would be affected by the radiation . The attacks on the nuclear waste is not the only potential hazard. There could also be attacks on the nuclear reactor itself. An attack on a nuclear reactor would be very easy, all that would need to be done is attack a coolant component. The overheating of the reactor would cause it to explode. This same overheating scenario happened at Chernobyl. These attacks could end a major city. The blast form the reactor would destroy a town. It would be about the same as a nuclear bomb. So a city with a nuclear reactor is the same as having a nuclear bomb in the city ready to detonate. It would be a much better idea to have them far away on a river and just have large wires connecting them to the city. |
