Do you mean by "deal with nutrient", "replace those extracted and exported with the crop? I've never heard of yellow cake in rock phosphate, but if it occurs, so what. If it's radioactive it is best avoided. They had problems with this in Cumbria, not with Yellow cake but with rock phosphate. A Cumbrian firm used to buy rock phosphate (from Morocco I think) and make phosphoric acid, which they used in various processes. The waste rock (crushed to power in the process, was just flushed back into the sea from which it had initially come umpteen million years previously. The sea of Cumbria is very closely monitored because of Sellafield Nuclear Power Station, and it was discovered that actually there was so much naturally occurring uranium in this ground up rock that they were bigger polluters than Sellafield was. what a maroon Interesting, thanks. Just shows how safe nookyoulah powah is However, be careful you do not mention Sellafield as a typical example of what nuclear power has to offer on the polluting side, when you are among supporters. You could get yourself killed. :-) But as dangers are usually comparative, what about a compare with coal fired power? |
