Based on building materials used in the Arctic at the time, the authors speculate the site contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pollutants toxic to human health, along with an unknown volume of low - level radioactive coolant from the nuclear generator.

This raised the original rating from level 5 and puts the Fukushima Daiichi disaster technically in the same category as Chernobyl, although the quantity of discharged radioactive materials in Japan so far is about 10 percent of what was released by the Chernobyl reactor explosion, considered history's worst nuclear accident.

In 2010, the Obama administration abandoned a 2 - decade effort to bury much of the high level waste — spent fuel rods from commercial reactors and radioactive material from nuclear bomb manufacturing — inside Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert (although Congress has ordered parts of that process to keep moving).

Understanding the kinetics and mechanisms causing intergranular oxidation at the atomic level can improve manufacturing for more durable, corrosion - resistant materials designed for safe application in service environments, for example, in a light - water (nuclear) reactor within its decidedly high - temperature, reactive environs.

Summary: Gibbsite (α - Al (OH) 3) is an important natural and industrial material that is used in a wide variety of energy applications, and is a significant component of some of the high - level nuclear waste stored in large quantities at the Hanford Site, Washington, U.S.A., and at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina, U.S.A. Industrial - scale processing of these materials requires an understanding of their behavior in highly alkaline solutions (often called Bayer liquors); processing of slurries and precipitates from these liquors is facilitated by controlling the nanoparticulate gibbsite morphology.
