Talk:High-level waste

message: I have to agree with previous comment (made over 3 years ago). This conclusion about final disposal being not urgent is somewhat misleading and biased. It would maybe be correct to say that final disposal is not yet a critical issue and there is still time for deeper research, but this problem is becoming substantially more important (especially when one takes the time to calculate through these given numbers). I suggest rephrasing this sentence to make it free from slight subjective flavour; or add a reference to a valid scientific work that backs up this statement.

message: I posted the Merge today.  There is no article on Spent nuclear fuel, so I redirected that term to Radioactive waste. Simesa 01:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the article should be separate. The publics' perception of waste as unimportant and that all waste is the same needs to be challenged and the differences between different waste streams with different waste management processes be made clear. --Alex 12:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I had an issue with the following quote from the article:
:"A typical large nuclear reactor produces 25-30 tons of spent fuel per year. If the fuel were reprocessed and vitrified, the waste would be only about 3 cubic meters per year."
25-30 tons is a lot, and 3 cubic meters doesn't seem like a lot, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is extremely dense stuff. How much does 3 cubic meters weigh? Changing the units for comparison purposes doesn't seem smart. - MordredKLB 01:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The first line of this article has an erroneous definition of high-level nuclear waste. 
"High-level waste (HLW) is a type of nuclear waste created by the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel."
HLW does not depend on what process created it.  The spent fuel from nuclear reactors for making electricity is also high-level, without reprocessing.  I'm not able to find the reference providing this definition.  Can anyone provide the text of the quote regarding this definition?
