Toxizität radioaktiver Abfallstoffe aus dem Betrieb von Kernreaktoren im Vergleich mit der Radiotoxizität natürlicher Uranvorkommen am Beispiel der BRD

摘要

For a supposed population of nuclear reactors in the FRG during the next 5 decades, the hazard potential of the produced nuclear waste of different fuel cycles using Uranium and Plutonium is calculated by use of the computercode ORIGEN-EXJÜL. The consequences concerning the hazard potential resulting from these strategies are investigated using the radioactivity concentration guides as given in the US-Code of Federal Regulations. In addition, more restrictive values in view of ingestion for some heavy metal isotopes are applied and a comparison of the impacts is made. With regard to the acceptibility of disposing the nuclear waste, its hazard potential is compared with the ingestion hazard, of the natural uranium content in the soil of the FRG.
