“8,000: Cubic feet of out-of-compact waste advocated by Studsvic lobbyists as more “moderate” approach. In reality, this restricted quantity favors Studvic’s processing faciliy in Tennessee which could reduce the volume of the nation’s 40,000 cf of waste generated annually by 5 times. Radioactivity is not reduced, however, meaning that 8,000 cf would be equally as hazardous as 40,000 cf. “
So what? If you’re complaining about low-level waste volume (which they are), why not use a process that compresses it?
