Case Report: Between 1992 and 1996, a man from the UK, in his early 40s, worked in Bosnia. He had been well, except for his longstanding asthma, nasal polyps, and eczema, but developed persistent abdominal pains and periodic fatigue, unrelated to exertion, for which no medical cause was identified. In 1997, the patient had a cholecystectomy for right hypochondrial tightness, and a Nissen's fundoplasty for Barrett's oesophagus. However, his fatigue and discomfort became so severe that he retired involuntarily ...

Robert Alvarez, The Nation, April 9, 2001 
Over the past half-century, 700,000 metric tons of DU 
… was produced at three government-owned enrichment 
plants in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Paducah, Kentucky; and 
Portsmouth, Ohio. 
Some 150,000 tons of uranium, containing plutonium-239 
and larger amounts of equally dangerous neptunium-237, were 
recycled from nuclear weapons production reactors and 
processed at the three gaseous-diffusion plants.

" More than 500 tons of DU munitions have been dispensed in Afghanistan. Professor Yagasaki calculated that 800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent to 83,000 Nagasaki bombs in  a paper presented at the ‘World Uranium Weapons Conference’ in Hamburg in October 2003 ( 5 months ago ). The amount of DU used in Iraq in 2003 is equivalent to nearly 250,000 Nagasaki bombs ( Busby and Leuren Moret have calculated that 1900 tons of DU is equivalent to 60 TBq of Alfa and Beta particulate activity). "
Nagasaki bombs...ungünstiger Vergleich, das war eine Pu-Bombe.

" Regarding 133Xe, we find a total release of 15.3 (uncertainty range 12.2–18.3) EBq, which is more than twice as high as the total release from Chernobyl... The entire noble gas inventory of reactor units 1–3 was set free into the atmosphere between 11 and 15 March 2011. "

= There was complete (ie.. affecting all fuel assemblies) meltdown of units 1–3 and total containment failure by 2011-03-15; with combined reactor-inventory (ie. radionuclides present at time of accident, units 1-3, no SFP) about twice that of Chernobyl-IV-1986.

The release was somewhat less violent than Ch'86 and total releases (of Cs, Sr, ..) from Fuk'11 smaller than those from Ch'86, but fallout (~20% over Japan, ~2% other land, ~78% into ocean) affected a more populated area.

Nuclear ('gen.II-III')reactors (for power-generation) typically 'burn' 4-6% of the U-235+238 (experimental / theoretical reactors manage [a bit] more). Seems like reprocessing the 'spent' fuel would be a must. Pity it's such a mess that's it amounts to an insane undertaking. Which is what that whole nuclear$hit$tuff is: insane.

Tours to Chernobyl: The Emergency Situations Ministry of Ukraine allowed tourists to go on special tours of the plant in 2011.

Neben dem THTR-300, einem Thorium-Hochtemperatur-Reaktor in Hamm-Uentrop (Bauzeit 1970 - 1983) wurde eine "Wiederaufarbeitungsanlage" namens 'JUPITER' gebaut. Sie sollte einen Thorium-Kreislauf ermöglichen[6], hatte aber einen Auslegungsfehler; deshalb funktionierte sie nie. (Näheres hier).

a second life-extension to 80 years may also be economic in many cases[2],<!-- though ONLY--> as long as certain costs can be externalized.<REFS> XXXXX  mother_of_subsidies  dingsbums_act  </ref>

in at least one of the mentioned (BBC,RT) interviews, Busby also explicitely states that it doesn't (much) matter what kind the explosion(s) were -- since "nuclear rather than hydrogen" is mentioned twice (thus imo [i fully agree that it doesn't matter much] somewhat accented too much), this should maybe be added? ~~~~

The Responsibility of the US in Contaminating Iraq with Depleted Uranium

8. Chroder, H. et al. “Chromosome aberration analysis in peripheral lymphocytes of Gulf War and Balkans War veterans”. Radiation Prot. Dosimetry. Vol. 103(3) 2003 (PP. 211-219).

It is estimated the US & UK armed forces used about (700-800) tons of DU in 2003
-- 21. ICBUW, “Statement by the DU positive testees” http://www.banddepleteduranium.org/ ???

=> ICBUW_Statement.pdf >>
Over 127 tons of DU were used by U.S. forces in the Iraq war of 2003 according to Dr. Michael Kirkpatrick of the Department of Defense (268) as opposed to 320 tons of DU used in the 1991 Gulf War. These numbers, particularly for the 2003 Iraq war are not firm.
