>
>Japan Atomic Power Co officials said they
>shut down the 166,000-kilowatt unit at a plant
>overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Tokai, 110
>km (66 miles) northeast of Tokyo, on Tuesday
>afternoon.
>
>"The last control rod slid into the reactor
>pressure vessel at around 3.30 p.m., and that
>was that," a company spokesman said.
>
>The Tokai reactor will now become the first
>Japanese nuclear power plant to begin the
>long, complicated and costly process of
>decommissioning and demolition.
>
>The reactor was the only one in Japan to use
>graphite as its moderator and carbon dioxide
>gas as its coolant, a design Japan Atomic
>officials said made it cost twice as much to
>operate and maintain as other commercial
>reactors and which prompted its closure.
>
>The other 51 commercial nuclear reactors in
>Japan use water as a moderator and coolant.
>Nuclear reactors supply about one-third of the
>country's electric power.
>
>Japan Atomic plans to starts the 25 billion yen
>($189 million) demolition of the Tokai reactor
>by first removing 16,000 fuel rods from its
>system - a process expected to take about
>three years.
>
>The plant will then be left to sit for up to 10
>years in order to reduce radioactivity before it
>is dismantled. Demolition is expected to
>produce 23,000 tonnes of low-level radioactive
>waste.
>
>Spent nuclear fuel removed from the plant will
>be sent to Britain to be reprocessed into
>uranium and plutonium fuel as well as
>radioactive waste. Both fuel and waste will
>eventually be shipped back to Japan.
>
>The vitrified radioactive waste will be cooled in
>canisters for 30 to 50 years at a storage
>facility in Aomori Prefecture on the northern tip
>of Japan's main island before being
>permanently buried several hundred metres
>(yards) below ground.
>
>The location of the permanent storage site has
>yet to be fixed and its selection is expected to
>be a difficult task as a series of accidents and
>ensuing cover-ups in the last few years have
>seriously undermined public trust in the
>nuclear industry.

>Aomori Governor Morio Kimura this month
>barred a ship carrying high-level radioactive
>waste destined for the prefecture's storage site
>from a nearby port until he was given central
>government assurances about the safety of

Subject: Looking for Recycling Heroes
All,
The 'Green Scissors for Recycling' report is developing nicely and will be
ready for review soon. A joint project of the GrassRoots Recycling Network,
the Materials Efficiency Project, Taxpayers for Common Sense, and Friends of
the Earth, this will be the first Green Scissors study to look specifically at
how wasteful taxpayer subsidies for virgin material extraction and wasting
harms the recycling industry.
To make the report more accessible to the public, we are looking for stories
of real live people in the recycling business. Specifically, we want (1)
stories of recycling heroes in small or medium sized companies in the United
States (recyclers who have accomplished great things without federal
handouts), and (2) anecdotes of for-profit recyclers who have been
competitively disadvantaged by subsidies to their virgin material or wasting
competitors (and can be documented or estimated with numbers).
If you know of such people and stories, please email me -- including their
contact telephone if possible.
Thanks,
Bill Sheehan
P.S. The full report will be made available to the members of the greenyes
listserve at the time of its release.

Haya (and anyone else who cares to take a look)
Check out the factoids section on the ESA web site. It has a lot of facts
about paper, metals, plastics, etc. The URL is...
http://envirosystemsinc.com
You'll find some pretty good facts there. There are lots of facts about
paper. It is being added to all the time. All factoids have their source
listed also. Take care. Fritz Franke
