Stories bars come from the U.S. that is why, explains Sogin

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.

Waste el ' Enea: "And if they become another form of wealth?"

Making for energy and minimize waste to the rubbish tip

ROTONDELLA . Exploiting waste for energy and to produce materials with minimal waste to the rubbish tip. And this is in agreement with industrial partners. This is the line of research on waste treatment Trisaia conduct of Enea by a special study group. And the results are real. "In the next week - said the center's director, Donato Viggiano - signed an agreement with Alenia (Finmeccanica group) for the recovery of asbestos fibers in air by demolition." This is an example of how waste can be turned to defeat, while the "sin - Campania syndrome", namely the fear of being left with the garbage in the streets to overflowing landfills. "The activities we have in development - said the engineer. Giacinto Cornacchia, director of the Chamber and process technologies in waste treatment - are designed to recycle waste in our daily life and production. " Also studied how to enhance solid waste urbani? «Studiamo l’utilizzo del cdr (combustibile derivato dai rifiuti) come fuoriesce, sotto forma di “ecoballe”, dagli impianti che lo producono separandolo dalla parte pesante (vetro ed altri inerti) e da quella organica. Sviluppiamo tecnologie per la sua termovalorizzazione mirando a recuperare oli e gas combustibili e carboni. Con l’impresa Mida, di Crotone, stiamo già provando i processi di produzione di gas combustibile da un impianto parallelo alla produzione di cdr». A Rotondella, però, un’altra linea di ricerca riguarda la valorizzazione dei pneumatici usati. Studi condotti in collaborazione con la Sicav, di Gissi (Chieti). «Ad oggi - ha continuato il nostro interlocutore - il 70 per cento of these tires end up in landfills. Few companies that incinerate developing hot gas to produce electricity and waste with zinc for new tires. Here we try to experiment with technology, through pyrolysis (splitting at high temperature, 500-700 degrees, in the absence of oxygen), to recover fuel gas, oil and coal liquids. " At Trisaia Finally, we study how to enhance other materials such as PVC (reduce its chlorine content), biomass, pieces of scrap aircraft or cars (like Ferrari) containing carbon fibers. Fibre-strong and lightweight that cost 100 euro per kilogram and that are produced by few companies in the world, including any Italian. "With our process of incineration - Concluded Crow - retrieves. Hence the agreement with Alenia, which in Grottaglie produces fuselages for Boeing aircraft. Thus, we join in the aviation industry and, although we are still in their infancy in the use of these fibers in the industry, the automotive industry. It must be said, finally, that the "Project of carbon fibers, whose patent has already been registered, was funded by the Region as a partner and had Karborek private industry."

Corso Garibaldi jobs are blocked

But the company has not yet formally withdrawn

ROTONDELLA - Work in progress Garibaldi are locked. For about forty days do not see the equipment and personnel committed to the redevelopment, which awarded the company should (or should) be concluded by the end of aprile.Il fact, as expected, had a strong impact on the collective psychology of the inhabitants . Corso Garibaldi, you know, is the most experienced of the hill town: a place of walking for young and resting place for the elderly. Not without reason, therefore, that its closure had caused doubts to work and inconvenience, but this new suspension is producing feelings in anxiety and skepticism. There is concern, in short, a multi-year block stretch of strada.Ma what happened, exactly? These are the facts. The bidder company, based in Potenza, would suspend the work from day to day, without providing any type of communication. Prompted by the municipality to provide an explanation, it would guarantee the continuation of activities. To date, however, everything has remained fermo.E 'why the municipality, including the supervision of works, has repeatedly called for the resumption, and ordered the termination of the contract award. Termination but, by law, can not be imposed before the date of delivery of lavori.Formalmente short, the company can decide how and when to work, provided it is able to deliver the work to date as a deadline, in this case the month of aprile.In Specifically, however, it seems difficult at this point, you can follow an appropriate "time schedule" of the work. They say worried Antonio Dimauro, city councilor for Public Works, clarified that: "Contrary to what they say in the country - he explains - the company has not formally withdrawn. We are however concerned about the situation and for this we are already working to put maximum pressure on the company, through our technical department, which is facing each other with great competence. We look forward to the resumption of work, but we can not passively accept this impasse, because we will soon procure the second batch of work. " Same iron line from the mayor Vito Agresti: "Corso Garibaldi is too important to the life of the center and can not get stuck for long." The same concern is also shared by the opposition, which has tabled a question on the matter for next city council. Remains in doubt because of the suspension. Were made in this regard, many assumptions: bad relationship with the company's construction management, poor relations with the contracting authority, problems related to the project, lack of tools and skills. All these, however, are only hypotheses that only an official communication from the company can clarify.
