Let’s look now at another kind of waste treatment that ZPE enables:

Disposal of nuclear waste

Page 4: D 8 radioactive waste

When we think of nuclear waste, we might initially think of the famous nuclear accidents

• Chernobyl (1986)• Fukushima (2011)

Page 5: D 8 radioactive waste

But every day, around the world, more than 430 nuclear reactors are at work,

Page 6: D 8 radioactive waste

And around 70 more are under construction

Page 7: D 8 radioactive waste

These nuclear power plants usually have difficulty finding a place to store their spent fuel rods

Page 8: D 8 radioactive waste

Which are full of uranium and/or plutonium, and very dangerous

Page 9: D 8 radioactive waste

As a result, the most common solution is just to store the dangerous rods on site

Page 10: D 8 radioactive waste

This usually works OK… until there is an accident

Page 11: D 8 radioactive waste

While accidents happen very rarely, the problem of nuclear waste is extremely serious

Page 12: D 8 radioactive waste

We know from chemistry that the radioactive elements in the spent fuel rods will continue to be dangerous for more than 10,000

years… in some cases, up to 250,000 years

Page 13: D 8 radioactive waste

While the risk of having an accident within any given span of 10 years or even 100 years is fairly small, how can we possibly predict

what will happen over the next 10,000 years?

Page 14: D 8 radioactive waste

The risk of an accident over a time span that long is actually quite large.

You might say, having many accidents over that time span is a certainty.

Page 15: D 8 radioactive waste

But now, ZPE gives us a good solution.

Remember how LENRs and plasmoid strikes were found to cause transmutation of elements?

Page 16: D 8 radioactive waste

Well now, scientists in Japan have discovered that this process works well on radioactive elements to transmute them from dangerous

isotopes to isotopes that are less dangerous, even harmless

Mitsubishi already has a patent on one such technology

Page 20: D 8 radioactive waste

This is a technology that is currently being tested at Fukushima

Page 21: D 8 radioactive waste

But even more importantly, it can be used at those >400 nuclear power plants worldwide which are currently waiting for a solution to

their nuclear waste problem

Page 22: D 8 radioactive waste

Let’s clean up those dirty nuclear fuel rods now!

Before an accident occurs and it’s too late.
