Deep Isolation asks states to include waste disposal in their nuclear strategy
Nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation is asking that the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) consider how spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste will be managed under its strategy for developing advanced nuclear power projects in participating states.

Calculations have been carried out to determine the time dependence of the residual-photon dose rate inside an accelerator tunnel due to a 3-GeV proton beam located on the axis of an iron cylinder. The photon dose rate produced by the activation of the concrete tunnel wall is calculated and combined with the results from a previous calculation for the dose rate contributed by the iron to obtain the total photon dose rate inside the tunnel. The effectiveness of lowering the total photon dose rate by reducing the 24Na production in the concrete is evaluated. The development of the nucleon-meson cascade, the residual nuclei production, and the photon transport are calculated using Monte Carlo methods.
