of the reactor pressure vessel had escaped from the reactor. The boric acid is used to control the reactor and is added to the coolant. However, the acid reacts very aggressively to heavy metals. As a result, there was severe corrosion on the reactor lid, so that only a few millimeters thin layer of the inner lining of the lid remained. Oak Ridge National professionals...
This creates metallic, easily extractable iron, as the researchers report in “Nature”. The highlight: the process is quick, economically profitable and also renders the toxic heavy metals in the red mud harmless. Steel and aluminum are among the most important metal raw materials in the modern world. But their production is anything but environmentally and climate-friendly: The...

in parts of Serbia. DU bullets or penetrators (armor-piercing dart bullets) consist primarily of depleted uranium, a radioactive and chemically toxic heavy metal. As far as is known, these weapons were used by two states: the USA and Great Britain. This first happened in Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. From 1994/95 onwards, the wars on the...

Then you have to decide where you want to store the approximately 27.000 cubic meters, which are to be packed in around 1.900 containers, so-called castors. In addition, there are around 6.500 tons of heavy metal in vitrified radioactive waste packages from reprocessing as well as other radioactive waste from research reactors. An underground repository is being built for this legacy of the nuclear industry...

of uranium ammunition by the Russian army, which the Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining has already confirmed in one case. DU damages life in two ways: as a heavy metal it is a chemical cell poison, and as an alpha emitter it causes radioactive damage. Both effects are potentiated. The use of this ammunition leads to toxic and radiological...

In 1997, for the Ahaus transport cask storage facility, it is stated on page nine that the two casks contain a “maximum” of 767 irradiated AMR fuel elements with an average burn-up of 130 MWd/Mg of heavy metal. This highly enriched uranium is of course a real disposal problem and has not been discussed in official considerations to date. Notes (1)...

and 3): "The USA has stopped the supply of highly enriched uranium since 1977. Scientists found a replacement solution for U-235 by combining micro-spheres (Pu 3 - 30 micrometers, other heavy metals up to 50 micrometers in diameter) with fissile transuranium (Pu , Am, Cm) using the ICF process.

Entangled in the network of European uranium transports
the industrially meaningless uranium238 and contains only 0,7 percent uranium235, from which fuel elements for nuclear power plants or nuclear material for atomic bombs are made. Therefore, the heavy metal must be removed from the uranium ore and then uranium 235 must be separated from uranium 238. As long as both isotopes are in solid form, separation would be impossible, so the uranium ore is initially...
