The use of nuclear power for electricity generation has only one serious, unsolved problem: how to provide for the safe, secure, permanent, and affordable disposal of radioactive nuclear waste. North Star International Enterprises Inc. has developed a proprietary method for accomplishing this goal and thereby paving the way for the unlimited production of affordable, clean, and dependable nuclear electricity for endless generations to come.

By an act of Congress, nuclear power generation companies in the U.S. are required to store their radioactive waste onsite and to maintain the safety of that waste for 60 years – with an automatic extension (as mandated by Congress) for an additional 60 years. The public pays a high price for the ongoing “temporary” storage and management of this waste; according to government reports, dangerous radioactive elements are leaching into the local groundwater at every nuclear waste site in our nation. In addition, the nuclear waste remains at risk of destructive intervention by any criminal or terrorist organization that may try to wreak havoc or to extort financial or political concessions from our nation.

NSIE’s solution is the creation of a strong, secure, and provably safe container for the containment, transportation, storage, and disposal of radioactive waste. We have designed and developed a container made of Ultra High Performance (UHP) concrete with a compressive strength of well over fifteen tons per square inch. Our containers are easy to manufacture, create a very small environmental footprint, and are much less expensive than any other type of container currently in use for merely storing – not disposing of – radioactive waste.

Each container will have embedded computer chips for unique identification and will include monitoring and GPS location sensors for real-time tracking. The sheer size and weight of each container provide security from any attempts to seize and escape with them for any unlawful or destructive purposes. The sensors and GPS locators will provide instantaneous monitoring of each container and will ensure that each can be precisely located at any given moment, from its manufacture, to its loading with radioactive waste, to its transportation, and to its final disposal.

Our nation has a perfect record, for well over 60 years, of safe transportation of radioactive waste materials, without a single mishap resulting in death because of radiation exposure. There has never been an example of any criminal or terrorist intervention against the safe transportation of radioactive waste in our country.

Various governmental agencies estimate our nation's total amount of high-level radioactive waste at about 100,000 tons. This waste is mainly in the form of spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants. In addition, scientists and nuclear power industry experts estimate the amount of low- and medium-level waste at 150 to 200 million tons. Neither governmental agencies nor nuclear power industry experts have created any practical solution that can realistically and affordably solve the problem of the permanent disposal of all this radioactive nuclear waste.

NSIE will transport the UHP containers following the well-established regulations and procedures created and overseen by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation. The safe transportation of radioactive nuclear waste via the highways, railways, and waterways of our nation is already well provided for and has been well-tested for many years without a single death caused by the release of radioactive materials. NSIE will strictly comply with these regulations and guidelines.

The current U.S. Government position on radioactive nuclear waste focuses on managing and storing the waste, not disposing of it. There is currently no program in operation for the final disposal of that waste. The danger to the public and to the natural environment grows steadily worse. Speculative proposals for the safe storage of waste in underground depositories fifteen hundred to two thousand feet below the surface of the ground cannot guarantee the long-term security of the radioactive waste. All such proposals for underground geologic disposal are very expensive. Nor can they guarantee the long-term safety of the human and natural environment from future radioactive contamination. The possibility of a natural or man-made disaster is almost inevitable. NSIE’s methodology, utilizing the UHP containers for the storage and disposal of radioactive nuclear waste, can help ensure that unlimited quantities of dangerous radioactive waste will never endanger the human or natural environment again by disposing of all of it safely forever.

The only serious, unsolved problem with the nuclear production of electrical power is the question of what to do with the dangerous radioactive waste. Our disposal methodology will allow for the rapid expansion of clean, affordable, safe, and dependable nuclear power in our nation and around the world, and for the early decommissioning and replacement of all fossil fuel electrical generating plants. That alone will provide a remarkable enhancement of the environment and a major improvement in the overall health of people all around the world. The World Health Organization calculates that over 1.2 million people die each year as a direct result of the air pollution caused by coal-burning power plants and other uses of fossil fuels. The beneficial effects on the world environment will be immeasurable, permanent, and ongoing. Our methodology can also provide for the complete disposal of all other forms of hazardous materials as well, such as industrial, chemical, biological, and medical waste of every sort. NSIE offers a comprehensive solution, providing for the safe, secure, permanent, and affordable containment and disposal of all radioactive waste in unlimited quantities and in perfect safety, forever.
