Nuclear Europe: Country Guide

There are 165 nuclear reactors producing power in Europe (excluding Russia), with six under construction and others planned.

There is a wide divergence of approaches to nuclear power.

Some countries, like Germany and Spain, are committed to phasing out nuclear power; others, like the UK and Italy, have recently committed themselves to building new power plants; while some, including Ukraine and Finland, already are.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the Department of

Ohio Low-Level Radioactive Waste Fact Sheets

Thirty-nine fact sheets have been published. A list of titles follows with a link to the individual fact sheets. Each fact sheet addresses a single topic related to low-level radioactive waste. The fact sheets present fundamental scientific and legal concepts in non-technical language. Care has been taken to avoid making subjective judgements or offering arguments for or against any particular action related to low-level waste. Rather, it is hoped that the fundamental concepts presented in the f... [More]

Ozone - EPA

Ozone is a gas that occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone can be "good" or "bad" for people's health and for the environment, depending on its location in the atmosphere.

Pedosphere.com

The development of internet technologies has lead to a glut of information, therefore, there is a tremendous need to organize information, convert it to knowledge and manage the... [More]

Pesticides and Groundwater Contamination

Pesticide use and management by farmers, applicators, private and public businesses and institutions, manufacturers and distributors, and the general public provide many possible sources and opportunities for pesticide contamination. The ideal outcome of pesticide use occurs when a pesticide accomplishes the purposes for which it was applied and then rapidly breaks down into harmless components such as carbon dioxide and water. This happens in most cases, but the process and time vary among pest... [More]

Pump-and-Treat Optimization

Pump-and-Treat Optimization with MODMAN - Computer modeling was used to simulate and optimize the placement of wells to contain and remove a plume of contaminated groundwater.
