[NukeNet] Three Mile Island - Plutonium 239 - The Roy Process -

[theroyprocess at cox.net]

Letter to the Editor,

In 1979, after the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant meltdown, Dr Roy spent the summer break from A.S.U. to see if it was feasible to backwards engineer so-called spent fuel (nuclear waste). He found photon transmutation would work and reduce plutonium 239, the aim of nuclear power plants, to zero radioactivity. Other isotopes also by the same method. It can be done with current technology cost effectively. Dr. Roy estimated costs at $80 million dollars for the pilot treatment plant at each nuclear reactor where the waste is stored in cooling ponds. Use the same steam powered electric generators to produce electricity from the heat. Then president Ronald Reagan signed the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act, which made burial of nuclear waste, federal policy. This put alternatives like photon transmutation (the Roy Process) in limbo. It is still available in the form of a Patent application, apparatus and theory.
