1. Nucleair power centrals & its waste in Belgium Olivia Nelis

2. Working of

3. How ?

4. Advantages nuclair power Volume of waste is very small. For example compared to chemical waste Low CO2 emission Waste disappears because of half-life. BUT is independant! Seconds ? Or can still be long time! => Storage needed!

5. Different kinds of radiation

6. How to store Nucleair waste + glass: clot in SS barrel Wait until it’s no longer harmful

7. Disposal: 2 options Safe storage in an underground disposal. Nuclear waste goes to a deep stable layer where it can safely be deleted. Transmutation: The conversion of long-lived radioactive waste into short-lived. At laboratory scale this is already possible.

9. Belgium: 7 reactors NPP Doel (4 reactors) Tihange NPP (3 reactors) Studycenter SCK CEN Mol Research Reactor in Ghent (INW). On the territory of Mol / Dessel is the national nuclear waste processing Belgoprocess. In Dessel are two factories for production of nuclear fuel: FBFC and Belgonucléaire.

10. Which makes us 3th worldwide for the share of electricity generated in nuclear power plants. 55% of our energy is nucleair energy

12. Geological disposal

14. Surface disposal

15. (!:Less harmful waste)

16. Fusion ? No nucleair waste No chain reaction (can be stopped) inexhaustible

17. Belgian government Government wants to shut down all nucleair reactors Governments quits for 2nd time in 3 years. Future is insecure ? => NEW PROJECT

18. Windmills ! Thorntonbank

19. In the sea
