[cdn-nucl-l] Bon voyage to Berkeley boilers



UNRESTRICTED | ILLIMITÉ

 

The boilers (steam generators) from the UK’s Berkeley reactors have begun their voyage to Sweden, where Studsvik will recycle much of the steel, and return the contaminated waste back to the UK for disposal.  Quite the photo!

This is essentially the same process proposed for the Bruce steam generators.  Big difference: our roads are straighter and wider!
