But there is still the desire to get rid of the Lucan that burden
ROTONDELLA . Here are the reasons why the bars of Elk River, arrived in Basilicata of nuclear power plant in Minnesota (USA) in the late 60s, remained in the system of Itrec Trisaia. Lists them Sogin, spa owned by the Treasury, which the Government has entrusted the task of bringing a "green field" sites nuclear, after the articles published on March 9 on the situation in the plant Rotondellesi. "Sogin - says the clarification - relies on the most advanced industrial technologies and to meet international standards in its activities decommissioned. All our activities are authorized by the supervisory bodies that oversee the maintenance and security of the system in carrying out the decommissioning (dismantling, ed.) Sogin, also holds the utmost safety of the 64 elements of Elk River who can not follow the way of reprocessing because there are no industrial plants in the world able to reprocess the uranium-thorium fuel. These elements arrivarono a Rotondella dopo la stipula di un contratto tra l’Usaec (United States atomic energy commission) ed il Cnen (Comitato nazionale per l’energia nucleare). Il contratto era finalizzato a condurre ricerche sui processi di ritrattamento e rifabbricazione del ciclo uranio-torio. Nel 1973, l’Usaec, non ritenendo più interessante tale collaborazione, propose di lasciare al Cnen le 64 barre. Il Cnen controfirmava la proposta statunitense divenendo proprietario del combustibile uranio-torio. Il referendum del 1987 non ha alcuna correlazione con la vicenda delle barre di Elk River». Ma ora cosa si può fare perché i 64 elementi siano trasferiti altrove? «Sogin mantiene l’impegno a ricercare e a supportare ogni iniziativa that could be envisaged for the transfer of the bars. In this regard, has already commissioned the construction of two cask (metal cylinders, ed) is entitled to storage in the transport capacity of 32 elements each.
