SKÄRPTA REGLAR FÖR SLUTFÖRVAR!
Dagens goda nyhet:
Tyskland skärpar reglerna för slutförvar - kanske det är dags att se över, vad vi kan kräva av ett svensk slutförvar? Främst krävar Tyskland nu, att slutförvaret skall vara säkert 1 million år (samma som USA, men inte Sverige - här finns det vissa som pratar om bara några tusen år, sedan kommer nästa istid och efter den bara "invandrare").Ändast små och begränsade utsläpp skall godtas! Säger alltså Tyskland nu.

Germany strengthens rules on nuclear waste storage
The German environment ministry has published more stringent rules for the underground storage of nuclear waste updating a law adopted 25 years ago. Under the new rules radioactive waste must be safely stored for a million years.
Only "small and defined" releases of radioactive substances will be tolerated, and storage facilities will have to undergo a "continuous optimisation process" with regular security checks. And the waste should be retrievable up until a facility is sealed off.
The announcement comes amidst politically deadlocked selection procedures for a new waste storage facility, and a pending decision on which shut-down method to use for a disposal site in Asse (EE 03/06/08).
There have been a number of incidents at the site for years. A new incident was reported this week, according to newspaper Deutsche Welle.
