After Spain, nuclear is still serious damage. This time in France, just 40 km from Avignon. On the evening of Tuesday, July 8, the French nuclear safety agency (ASN) announced that thirty meters of a solution containing 12 grams of uranium per liter were discharged into two rivers, the gaffe and the Auzon, the nuclear site at Tricastin Bollene in the department of Vaucluse. The spill occurred during the cleaning of a tank of the plant: the thirty thousand liters of liquid highly contaminated by uranium, have gone to the ground and poured into an adjacent channel, which then dumped them in rivers. In total, those with 30,000 liters, ended up in the 360-kilograms of uranium. Too many. Despite this, the agency risks for the population are "minimal." The difference is that compared to previous incidents, here comes into play a quantity of radioactive material that can not all have risks and minimi.Tutti compounds are toxic and radioactive isotopes of uranium to a level potentially lethal. A non-lethal doses, the toxicity of uranium produces more damage to the body. If inhaled uranium is dissolved in the fluids of the mucous membranes of the lungs, and quickly enters the blood. Although much of absorbed uranium is excreted in the urine, the part that is not removed and accumulates in bones, especially in reni.I radiation damage is permanent. Uranium fixed in the bones and organs to radiation affects the surrounding cells, with particularly serious effects on the bone marrow. A person can be exposed to uranium by inhaling dust in the air that is ingested in food and water, the average daily intake of uranium is between 0.7 and 1.1 micrograms. But here we are in the presence of a leak of 360 kilograms, and a press of a government institution that speaks of "minimal risk to the population." Meanwhile, local municipalities of Bollene, Lapalud and Lamotte-du-Rhone have prohibited the taking of water from wells, and the use of water from rivers to irrigate their fields. Also prohibited fishing, fish consumption and swimming in polluted water, prohibition of water activities, block distribution Water management critical potabile.E get the story. The Commission's independent research and information on radioactivity (Criirad) denounced the "lack of reliability" of the central Tricastin, explaining that "this incident, not least, comes after an increasing number of other incidents, which show a degradation of waste management on a site intended instead to develop. "criticized the way the incident to give information," using the unit of measurement of mass (gram) - added the Criirad - rather than the radioactivity (the becquerel) does not account for the amplitude of the leak. " The loss concludes the commission, would pour into the rivers "A drain more than 100 times the annual limit." It was also felt the organization "Exit nuclear power," according to which "it is impossible that such a flight, containing uranium, does not have a significant impact on the environment and human health." On the Italian front, not too far in As the crow flies from the area of \u200b\u200bthe plant, there has been no outlier. To be interested in the accident was the Piedmont, where the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection has issued a communiqué stating that "although it is an event that would have involved only a local contamination of soil and groundwater aquifer following the release of contaminated water, increased the level of attention of the environmental radioactivity monitoring as a result of geographic proximity to the French site, located approximately 180 kilometers from the border of Piedmont. The data from the radiometric survey carried out by seven regional network of sensors Geiger Alert radiological places along the French border, did not indicate an outlier. "Similar results were obtained with more accurate analysis of particulate air pollution. Further experiments will be carried out in the coming hours with the sampling of one of the border areas closer to the French nuclear site, particularly on the Colle della Maddalena in Stura Valley.
