Hello, and welcome to our website on nuclear waste decommissioning. This site is being created by Amy Bergbreiter, Rolando Amaya, and Andrew Jarrett for CHM 333: Chemistry and the Environment.

Introduction

Nuclear power is a clean and efficient way of obtaining power. With each passing year, however, more and more nuclear waste is created as a result of nuclear power plants, and nuclear weapon decommissioning. These wastes provide a dangerous source of radiation for thousands of years. It is for this reason that nuclear waste storage and weapon decommissioning is of major importance. This web site seeks to analyze several methods of nuclear waste disposal and weapons decommissioning.
