Radioactive waste in our everyday objects

Since May, a ministerial decree has authorized the use of low-level radioactive waste in the manufacture of everyday consumer goods. Against the opinion of the competent authority.
"Metals, plastics, rubble ... from the dismantling of nuclear installations can be used to manufacture cement or steel. These contaminated products will be used for the construction of houses, cars, boats, bicycles ... ”Director of Criirad (independent association specialized in nuclear), Corinne Castagnier does not do science fiction. She comments on a recent ministerial decree.

A huge challenge for the nuclear industry

This text, published in the Official Journal on May 14, constitutes a derogation from the Public Health Code. It makes it possible to circumvent the ban, taken in 2002, to use radioactive substances in consumer goods and construction products. The Nuclear Safety Authority had nevertheless issued an unfavorable opinion, recalling "France's constant position to avoid diluting waste, in particular by adding it to consumer goods". Contacted yesterday, ASN maintains its position. The four ministries ¯ Health, Ecology, Housing and Economy ¯ overlooked.

The stakes for the nuclear industry are enormous. "With the deconstruction of important installations, such as the Brennilis power station (Finistère), it finds itself in front of mountains of radioactive products which it does not know what to do", indicates the Criirad. We are talking about millions of tonnes of waste to be treated in the coming decades. Finding sites where to store them is not going to be simple and the financial cost will be high (...)

To counter the ministries' decision, the Criirad “filed a petition before the Council of State for excess of power. The latter has already sent formal notices to the ministries in question. We await their explanations ”. Corinne Castagnier may know more on Monday. "We have an appointment in the morning at the office of Jean-Louis Borloo", the Minister of the Environment.


Anyway!

Uh sorry but I think it has been practiced for many years ...

The use of contaminated rubble and fill for the construction of roads, parking lots or even buildings / houses had been mentioned in this PAC: https://www.econologie.com/forums/la-france- ... t7045.html

Listen carefully to Borloo's "promises" when he should know the project of this decree during the interview (less than 6 months apart)

By civic duty, for all our thinking heads who decide that this kind of trashing is harmless, it would be necessary to improvise a wild spreading of this kind of these products in their garden or house for example. Something tells me they wouldn't want it at home, it's only good for others ..... : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil: : Evil:
