My patient long suffering wife works at a Dry Fuel storage facility. The used fuel is stored very similar to yours. Each flask is even X-rayed to obtain it's own unique signature. A deep depository is in the works for the low and medium waste. Anything that will burn goes through the incinerator then drummed. Metal is compacted and drummed. Surprising how small the site is which is storing waste from 21 reactors. Some units in service since the mid 1960's. Used fuel fresh from the reactor is impressive. A trolley with a dozen 70lb bundles rolls into the fuel bay under 30ft of water. The bundles cast that classic bright blue/purple light. For the next day or two there is enough decay heat you can see the convection currents of hot water rising 30ft to the surface of the pool. It's a contentious issue with "rad cops" here. Most everybody used to be badged high enough to plan rad work, look after new less qualified/less experienced people. And clean up after the job. Now with our new management. They are bringing non trades people off the street. Rushing them through a six month "green badge " course . Then sending these rad cops into a plant they know little about. To plan and over see tasks they never seen or heard of before. Of course everything takes longer to do now as it's one more work group/empire to coordinate with.

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
