Why Russia is buying up German depleted uranium

58
A wave of protest rallies swept through our country last week. The reason for popular discontent was the resumption of the import of German depleted uranium to us. People do not agree that Russia is gradually turning into a "radioactive burial ground." At the same time, the protesters do not believe Rosatom’s assurances that there really is no danger.

A week earlier, pickets of "environmentalists" were held in Germany itself. It is worth recalling that 10 years ago a similar situation led to the termination of the deal to import German "nuclear tails" into Russia.



But why did Rosatom resume “radioactive cooperation”? And is it really dangerous? For the answer we turn to physics.

The thing is that our country does not import completely waste into its territory. The raw material for the production of nuclear fuel is uranium ore, which is mined in mines. The latter contains the isotope U-235, from which subsequently fuel is produced for nuclear power plants.

However, the coefficient of isotope content in ore is too low (0,7%). The solution to the problem was the enrichment of uranium, a by-product of which is depleted uranium, which is considered waste. But, despite the "status" of the substance, it also contains U-235 in small quantities.

Our country has Technologywhich are capable of extracting quite a lot of valuable isotope from depleted uranium. In fact, this substance is “waste” only for Europe, due to its technological illiteracy.

As a result, it becomes clear that Russia does not accept waste from Germany, but valuable raw materials for processing. At the same time, we send back “enriched” uranium, for which we receive income.

After the aforementioned processing, we still have depleted uranium, which no one will be able to enrich. At the same time, it does not pose a radiation hazard, but contains fluorine, which can pollute the environment. Activists "press" on it.

However, not everyone knows that we do not bury this substance in the ground. It is stored in special metal containers and now in Russia there are more than 1 million tons of such waste.

Similarly, depleted uranium is stored in other countries with developed nuclear energy. And most importantly, no one except Russia knows what to do with it.

The main “trump card” of our country is the “Breakthrough” project, which has been working on since 2011. It involves the creation of new nuclear technologies based on a closed nuclear fuel cycle using fast neutron reactors. The successful implementation of an ambitious project will open a new era for humanity, since all the accumulated nuclear waste can be used to generate energy.

According to preliminary estimates, the aforementioned “reserves” will be enough to provide the entire planet with electricity for the next 3000 years. At the same time, only Russia will have revolutionary technology. Actually, like a significant part of the accumulated waste.

      Why Russia is buying up German depleted uranium

      I didn’t understand here. How to understand - buying up ??? I thought the other way around - Russia is paid for the fact that it removes radioactive waste.

        Why Russia is buying up German depleted uranium

        I didn’t understand here. How to understand - buying up ??? I thought the other way around - Russia is paid for the fact that it removes radioactive waste.

        Depleted uranium is not radioactive waste. Depleted uranium is practically not radioactive, even enriched uranium is also not radioactive. They are handled with rubber gloves. To start a nuclear fission reaction, it is irradiated.

        The danger from depleted uranium is that it treats heavy metals in the same way as lead. But let's say it is more poisonous and has carcinogenic properties if it gets inside the body and is poorly excreted. The peculiarity is that it crumbles with a strong blow.
        To work with it, it is enough not to turn it over too much, to work in medical gloves and a respirator. It can be stored in a warehouse as a chemical (lead). Does not apply to nuclear materials that, under international agreements, are somehow regulated by storage and movement.

        Why buy. Additional, deeper extraction of the uranium isotope.
        And theoretically, fast neutron reactors are now being developed, it is quite possible that depleted uranium can be loaded into an operating reactor and the uranium isotope is recovered. Those. potentially depleted uranium will not become a useless material, but the basis for obtaining nuclear fuel.

      "Tails" is a narrowly professional slang of civilian mining specialists!
      It was very unexpected and sweet to read it on the Military Review! smile
      It is quite rightly noted that "tailings (enrichment wastes)" discharged into dumps (waste heaps) and sludge ponds, with appropriate new technologies, can again become a valuable source of various minerals that are currently inaccessible (or unreasonably expensive at the current level of technology) for extraction ...
      And this is especially true for the "tails" of mega-expensive uranium-containing rocks, the enrichment technologies of which are constantly being improved, since they are strategically important!

      No matter what the malacholny "young Greta" "kamlak" and no matter how strong our common fear of disasters at nuclear power plants is, the future of Mankind, including the development of the Universe, belongs to nuclear energy!
      Soviet explored and available for mining uranium deposits in many ways turned out to be outside the borders of the Russian Federation, and most of the Soviet "accumulated" reserve was treacherously surrendered to the Americans by EBN "comrades"!
      Therefore, the current Russian leadership in this case is acting very far-sighted and state-owned! IMHO

      1. The news of the launch of new enterprises, of course, is encouraging, but we have CAPITALISM. Who is the owner? Or, as usual, it builds a state for budget money, but then it suddenly becomes private. Therefore, the GDP is 1%, because profit settles in the pockets of a private trader, and then the private trader is then persuaded to return the money to Russia.
      2. Nuclear energy is at our best and safety is also high. And in order for it to develop and improve further, our specialists need work with a good salary. Otherwise, they may leave, for example. Everything has been noted correctly - the future belongs to the nuclear power industry. And here the main thing is not to put another "Taburetkin" at the head, with its own optimization!

          Only an extremely sick in the head can think of such an absurd delirium. If Serdyukov is a great optimizer and a useful reformer for you, then everything is extremely clear with you. The army is not at all the sphere that can be entrusted to such would-be reformers from a cohort of "effective" managers. This very so-called "efficiency" almost ruined our entire army. Thank God that they came to their senses in time and stopped this vicious company. By the way, now General of the Army Shoigu is at the head of the army, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations is a service close to the army in its structure and very far from the furniture business, which Mr. Serdyukov was engaged in until the moment when he was very unexpectedly and controversially appointed to the post of Minister of Defense of Russia.

      Why Russia is buying up German depleted uranium

      All this is reminiscent of "Twelve Chairs", where the archivist Korobeinikov drove a warrant for General Popova's headset to a simpleton father Fyodor ... instead of orders for family chairs ...
      - And why exactly German ???
      - Or the Germans have already gutted their nuclear power plants ... -and do not even want to touch all these giblets ???
      - It doesn’t seem like rational and pragmatic Germany, suddenly something valuable, which can increase at times the price, suddenly decides to drive all of this to Russia ... - and most likely by barter for the supplied Russian gas (if not completely, then partly ...- that's for sure) ... - Our corrupt oligarchs will even sell everything for a tiny pullback ... - they’re ready to even plague, even the Ebola virus, to bring any infection to Russia ...
      - Not only does Russia pay with its gas, but it also gets in return such a "headache" that ... what ... what ... that the next generations will get it ...

Although , here you have already caught up with them, you have 4 admirals for 20 armored boats.

      The author is just a provocateur. He pursues his own goal, hidden from prying eyes.

      This is how things are with Germany’s nuclear power industry -

      On June 6, 2011, the German Federal Government decided to leave 9 units of eight nuclear power plants and gradually completely abandon the production of nuclear energy by the end of 2022. Among operating power units, 5 operates on the thorium fuel cycle. June 30, 2011 the law was adopted by the Bundestag.

      It’s clear that radish is not sweeter, but if the author was more competent in this matter, he would not write about uranium, but about nuclear fuel wastes in general. For a large share is not uranium mining at all.

      1. The news of the launch of new enterprises, of course, is encouraging, but we have CAPITALISM. Who is the owner? Or, as usual, it builds a state for budget money, but then it suddenly becomes private. Therefore, the GDP is 1%, because profit settles in the pockets of a private trader, and then the private trader is then persuaded to return the money to Russia.
      2. Nuclear energy is at our best and safety is also high. And in order for it to develop and improve further, our specialists need work with a good salary. Otherwise, they may leave, for example. Everything has been noted correctly - the future belongs to the nuclear power industry. And here the main thing is not to put another "Taburetkin" at the head, with its own optimization!

      If you had brains, you would write smart things. Privatization in Russia handed over to private hands what did not produce profit by definition. Or the fact that fussing with this property brought a headache more than that dough. Hairdressing, trade. The main, strategic engineering, mineral resources, electric power, gas, oil industry, academic science, railways, transport infrastructure remained in the hands of the state. Yes, shareholders were allowed, but they received shares that did not exceed either a blocking stake (major industries) or a controlling one.

      With "Taburetkin" you have completely shown your ignorance. He was assigned to do hard and thankless work. The Soviet Army numbered up to 5 million people. The collapse of the USSR required a sharp reduction and concentration of strategic and important tactical weapons within the borders of Russia. An inconceivable amount of unnecessary property. Officers' houses, hospitals, military camps, stadiums, training grounds, airfields, schools and headquarters with their own economic affairs. So he performed the task - to throw all this unnecessary trash off the budget. All this could be distributed. Better yet, sell. Now the Russian army does not exceed a million people. It is armed with mainly modern weapons. This is what you put in the criminal acts of the former Minister of Defense?

        And Serdyukov dealt with the task brilliantly.
        After which his place has already become demanded and many people have come to him. Therefore, Serdyukov was dismissed from his post.

        It is true that for more than a quarter of a century, as there are no communists in power and Russia has not died, but in comparison with other republics of the Union, where for the most part there is the former party nomenclature of the CPSU, somehow it does not really live ... became, apparently, due to the lack of a large number of "breadwinners" and "brothers", all the countries that were part of the Department of Internal Affairs, these are countries that fought on the side of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Is it worth it now to take offense at them, as well as at the Republic of Belarus (which until the 1th year of the last century was part of Russia), Ukraine (which received most of its land from the Russian Tsars and Bolsheviks) ...
        When the RI / RSFSR / USSR gave its lands to the horrible Russian population, is it worth it to be offended that it is now the Russian population, hates its mother Russia, abandoning them ... and giving its children to rogues ...

        However, it is not necessary to find fault with everything that was 73 years old under the Communists, many ideas were and are (I hope now) close to the peoples of Russia ...

      Perhaps I put it not so clearly. That is - it is not necessary to blame others for the collapse of the USSR. For, no matter what they did for a thousand years, they did not succeed. And the indicator of REAL misfortunes for us is just the discord within. Take the Time of Troubles. Take the Tatar-Mongol invasion.
      I could be wrong, but I believe that there was no invasion. At least on such a scale. Just feuds inside allowed aliens, for hire some, to cut others. Ryazans often hired strangers and participated against the same beasts. And vice versa. And in almost our time - Vlasov and his accomplices? And in our time - the same Navalny and his accomplices?
