Hoʻohuliʻia mai ʻO ke kaua he hewa ma ka lā X XUMUM, 1.
Ke hana malū nei ke aupuni pekelala i kahi hoʻolālā e lawe i kahi wai radioactive kiʻekiʻe mai Chalk River, Ontario, Kanada, a hiki i ka Pūnaewele ʻo Savannah ma Aiken, SC - kahi mamao ma mua o 1,100 mile. Hoʻolālā ʻia kahi moʻo o 250 truckloads e ka ʻOihana o Energy (DOE). ʻO Interstate 85 kekahi o nā ala nui.
Ma muli o nāʻike i paʻiʻia no ka US Environmental Protection Agency, ua hiki i kekahi mau'elepa o kēia wai ke hoʻopau i kahi wai wai kai piha.
ʻAʻole pono kēia mau hoʻouna wai. Hiki ke hoʻowahāwahā ʻia nā ʻōpala radioactive ma ka pūnaewele, a lilo ia i mea paʻa. Hana ʻia kēia i mau makahiki ma Chalk River. Maopopo loa nā moʻolelo mai ka wā ma mua e pili ana i kēia wai a pehea e mālama ʻia ai. ʻO ka hōʻike “ʻIke kikoʻī e pili ana i ka noʻonoʻo kaiāulu e ka Māhele o ka Laikini Mea Pono, US Atomic Energy Commission” (Kēkēmapa 14, 1970) - aia i loko ona ka noi a Allied General no ka Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant (Docket No. 50-332) - wehewehe i ka ʻōpala i hana ʻia ma ia hale, a wehewehe i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻōpala. Ua ʻike wau i kēia hōʻike ma muli o ka kūleʻa kūleʻa kū kānāwai i kēia ʻoihana i nā makahiki 1970 aʻu i komo ai. Eia ka ʻōkuhi o nā pae hoʻohālikelike e pono ai:
- E hōʻoia i ka paʻa paʻa o ka HLLW ma nā palepa nui (HLLW - "nā waiwai wai kiʻekiʻe")
- E hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka hoʻomahaʻana no ka hoʻoneʻeʻana i ka mahana wela o nā huahana ma nā pūnaeho hoʻonani hōʻoluʻolu
- E hoʻolako i kahi kūpono i ka poʻomanaʻo e mālama ai ...
- Hoʻoponopono i ka hōʻailona ma o ka hoʻolālā kūpono a me nā mea hana
- ʻO nā kinoea hoʻomeameaʻole a me nā meaʻokoʻa airborne, me ka hydrogentic hydrogen H2
- E kūʻai i keʻano no ka hoʻoikaikaʻana i ka hana hou
ʻAʻole hiki ka hapa nui o kēia mau mea i ka wā lawe. Eia hou, ke hana hou ʻia kēia i nā manawa he 250, he hewa iki wale nō, kanaka a lako paha, hiki ke hōʻino. A e manaʻo ʻia nā hewa. ʻO kahi laʻana, i ka lawe mua (a hiki wale nō i kēia manawa), he wahi wela ko lākou i loko o ka ipu lawe, a ma ka Pūnaewele ʻo Savannah River e hoʻohuli iā ia e alo i ka paia, no ka mea ʻaʻole e hōʻike i nā limahana.
ʻO Mary Olson o ka Nuclear Information Resource Service, kekahi o nā mea hoʻopiʻi i ka hoʻopiʻi e pili ana i kēia mau hoʻouna ʻana, wehewehe "ʻoiai me ka ʻole o kahi leakage o nā ʻike i loko, e hōʻike ʻia ka poʻe i ka radiation gamma radiation a me ka hōʻino ʻana i ka radiation neutron ma o ka noho wale ʻana i nā kaʻa ma kahi o kēia mau kaʻa lawe kaʻa. A no ka mea i loko o ka wai ka uranium o nā mea kaua, hiki i kēia manawa ke loaʻa i kahi ʻano kaulahao hikiwawe e hāʻawi ana i kahi puhi ikaika o nā neutron e hoʻoweliweli nei i ke ola ma nā ʻaoʻao āpau - kahi ulia i kapa ʻia ʻo "kritisity". "
ʻOiai ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana, ʻoiai nā leka a pau, ʻoiai ka leka uila, ʻoiai nā palapala noi, mai nā tausani o nā makaʻāinana hopohopo, koi ka DOE he "nui ʻole" ka hopena. ʻOiai koi ke kānāwai iā ia, ʻaʻole i hana ka DOE i kahi ʻ Environmentlelo Hoʻopili Kūlohelohe.
Ua hoʻolālāʻia ka nui o ka nūhou hōʻoia; no laila, he nui ka poʻe i pilikia i ka pōpilikiaʻaʻole maopopo i ka hopena.
Pono e paʻa kēia. Eʻoluʻolu e noi aku i ke kia'āina e mālama i kēia mau moku mai ka moku'āina mai.
