Question 1772 — déchets

France · National Assembly · 9 October 2017

Mme Mathilde Panot attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur le projet d'enfouissement de déchets nucléaires à Bure. Ce projet est réputé pour son caractère foncièrement anti-écologique. Le collectif Sortir du Nucléaire mène une lutte pied à pied depuis plusieurs années pour qu'il ne voie pas le jour. Mme la députée sollicite son avis, consciente de son engagement passé, et qu'elle espère encore présent, contre ce projet. Les récentes conclusions de l'institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nationale (IRSN), rendues publiques début juillet 2017, sont des plus préoccupantes quant à la dangerosité présentée par le projet. En effet, l'enfouissement à 500 mètres des déchets nucléaires implique un risque d'incendie pour ce qui concerne les alvéoles de stockage de colis d'enrobés bitumineux. L'enrobage bitumineux présente une faille majeure, à savoir l'instabilité chimique au lieu de l'inertie qui était attendue du procédé. De ce fait, lors de l'éventuel entreposage desdits déchets nucléaires, l'IRSN souligne l'existence d'un risque majeur, le réchauffement d'une des alvéoles pouvant causer un incendie dont la propagation atteindrait tous les autres fûts stockés dans le même tunnel. Compte tenu que 18 % du stock concerné par le projet de Bure appartient à la catégorie de déchets susmentionnés, ce qui constitue un problème d'ampleur. En août 2017, l'ASN a confirmé les préoccupations de l'IRSN relatives aux risques du projet tel qu'il est présenté à ce jour par l'ANDRA. Une poursuite du projet tel quel serait à l'évidence un coût inutile et aberrant pour les finances publiques. Elle souhaiterait ainsi connaître l'avis du ministère en ce qui concerne la poursuite de ce projet qu'elle considère comme appartenant aux grands projets inutiles, coûteux pour l'État, nuisibles aux citoyen(ne)s, et uniquement liés à la démesure des responsables qui ne parviennent pas à en concevoir l'arrêt. Mme la députée rappelle que les tensions liées à ce projet sont de toute évidence liées à la dépendance de la France à l'énergie atomique, à l'incapacité de traiter les déchets et que cela confirme la nécessité de sortir urgemment du nucléaire.

Dry Cask Storage Act of 2017

United States · United States Congress · 25 May 2017

Dry Cask Storage Act of 2017 This bill amends the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to require each licensee of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to submit a plan for: (1) transfer (including on-going additional transfers) to spent nuclear fuel dry casks of any spent nuclear fuel stored by the licensee for at least seven years in spent nuclear fuel pools, and (2) configuration of the remaining spent nuclear fuel in the pool in a manner that minimizes the chance of a fire if there is a loss of water in the pool. The NRC must approve or disapprove the plan within 90 days after its submission. The NRC may provide grants to any licensee with an approved plan to assist in the cost of transferring spent nuclear fuel to dry casks under the plan. The bill requires the emergency planning zone applicable to each civilian nuclear power reactor to be at least 10 miles in radius until all spent nuclear fuel at the reactor has been transferred to dry casks. The NRC must expand to 50 miles in radius the emergency planning zone applicable to each reactor not in compliance with an approved plan. The licensee is responsible for all costs associated with the expansion. The Department of the Treasury must transfer annually to the NRC, to pay the costs of the grant program, 10% of the interest generated during the preceding fiscal year from investments of the Nuclear Waste Fund.
