全世界现有424座商业核反应堆,分布于33个国家,仅美国就有109座,遍及32个州,美国电力需求的21%来自核电。一个典型的核电厂每年用过的核燃料约20吨,全美目前堆贮的耗毕燃料高达28000吨,足以覆盖一个2.75米深的足球场。预计48000吨,2030年有可能突破9万吨大关(还未包括军核设施)。如此巨量的核废料已使美国核电业不堪重负:持久的残存放射性污
The world’s existing 424 commercial nuclear reactors, located in 33 countries, there are 109 in the United States, covering 32 states, 21% of U.S. electricity demand from nuclear power. A typical nuclear power plant uses about 20 tons of nuclear fuel each year. The United States currently stocks up to 28,000 tons of fuel, enough to cover a 2.75-meter-deep football field. It is estimated that 48,000 tons, 2030 may exceed 90,000 tons mark (not including military nuclear facilities). Such a huge amount of nuclear waste has overwhelmed the U.S. nuclear power plant: long-lasting residual radioactive pollution
