Nuclear Revival Rekindles Waste Concerns

The pool storage area where spent nuclear fuel tanks are unloaded in baskets, and placed under 4 meters of water to lower their temperature, as part of the treatment of nuclear waste, is seen at the Areva Nuclear Plant of La Hague, near Cherbourg, western France, Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2007. Silent and sealed in steel cylinders thrust underground, 15 years worth of high-level nuclear waste from the world\'s most nuclear-energized nation lie in wait beneath a jutting tip of Normandy.
