Russia Sees Payoff In Nuc Storage
- [No better example of rich dirtying local while jetting to a global
retreat. As submarine Kursk and reactor Chernobyl show, Russia doesn't have
technical prowess to manage own nuclear industry. If Russia imports nuclear
waste it will be like the people who paid for cryogenic storage.--RSB]

fuel, charging up to $1,600 per 2.2 pounds to hold it in perpetuity
- Japan has 53 operating reactors and is in the midst of a national
debate over how to store its nuclear wastes. In Europe, there are more than
150 nuclear reactors, and France generates 76 percent of its electrical power
with nuclear energy
