Will the Commission establish the appropriate institutional instruments to prepare, within six months, a thorough analysis of a range of options for reducing the threat posed by deliberately crashing aircraft and other acts of malice at nuclear facilities, including the prospective benefits of transferring spent fuel to dry storage facilities that are robust against acts of malice, and suspending reprocessing until stocks of liquid high-level radioactive waste have been vitrified or otherwise used as part of an immobilisation programme for surplus plutonium?

4. Calls for a change in the role of Sellafield to one of a publicly funded body dealing appropriately with its part of the inheritance of the British nuclear industry, under the strictest government control, whereby all of the materials currently on site not due to be returned to clients would be classified as waste and where the production of the vitrification plant would be greatly increased, if necessary with French help, to make it possible to make all of the wastes as safe as possible as soon as possible, so as to avoid an inevitable and catastrophic accident at the High Level Waste tanks, or some other part of the site, as well as ...[+++] ongoing proliferation risks from the plutonium stockpile;

5. Calls on the UK Government to consider a change in the role of Sellafield to one of a body dealing appropriately with its part of the inheritance of the British nuclear industry, under the strictest direct government control, whereby all of the materials, including the plutonium, currently on site not due to be returned to commercial clients would be classified as waste, and where the production of the vitrification plant would be greatly increased, if necessary with French help, so as to make all such waste as safe as possible well before the 2015 deadline specified by the NII;

The highly active waste materials are usually fused into glass - "vitrification" - to leave them in a form suitable for prolonged storage and, ultimately, disposal.

National Technical University of Athens and the Prefecture of Viotia will introduce an innovative technique testing plasma gasification and vitrification for treatment of industrial hazardous waste.

Why is Canada not exploring easier, cheaper and safer alternative options with Russia and the United States, such as vitrification and burying the nuclear waste in the country that produces it?
