where is the south carolina nuclear waste dump?

I have to be a little leary of answering this question when the asker has a handle like freedomfighter.  But, hey if you are a terrorist, then the boys with the AR-10's would love to talk to ya.  You are thinking of Barnwell low level waste facility.

Politics and NIMBYism.\n\nWe shouldn't be storing it anyway, the fuel should be reprocessed and used in reactors instead of being stored for centuries.  It's like filling your gas tank, driving 20 miles then pumping the rest of the gas into a drum and burying it in your backyard - stupid.  You'd think Carter, a former nuclear operator would have known better.

Perplexing question considering the fact that both Clemson and the S.C. Aquarium only list 5 predominant landform regions in South Carolina. However, if you include the Ocean, which while not a landform in and of itself, is still a major feature, I am pretty sure this will do the trick for you.\n\nSouth Carolina's landform regions include:\n\nBlue Ridge\nPiedmont\nSandhills\nCoastal Plain\nCoastal Zone\nOcean\n\nThe first source reference below (.pdf) and includes a map that can be found on page 5.\n\nFor the second reference, go to the section marked detailed information (use the find function on your browser), where a detailed explanation is provided.

The Durham Road Landfill, outside San Francisco, which occupies over seventy million cubic feet of the biosphere. It is a sad monument, indeed, to the excesses of modern society [Gore 151]. One might assume such a monstrous mound of garbage is the largest thing ever produced by human hands. Unhappily,this is not the case. The Fresh Kills Landfill, located on Staten Island, is the largest landfill in the world. It sports an elevation of 155 feet, an estimated mass of 100 million tons, and a volume of 2.9 billion cubic feet. In total acreage, it is equal to 16,000 baseball diamonds [Miller 526].

The University of South Carolina has several campuses, the main one being in Columbia where the School of Medicine is located. Columbia is in the lowlands and the Congaree River runs through the city about one mile from the  center of campus.\n\nThe nearest mountains of any size are the Great Smoky Mountains which are located at the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, about 200 miles (3 - 4 hours) North of Columbia. They are awesome and offer a lot of recreational activities but would make for a fairly long day trip from Columbia.\n\nThe USC Spartanburg campus is much closer to the mountains (1.5 - 2 hours) but is not near any rivers.\n\nWK

Yes, one it is enriched and now radioactive because an atom has been split. I don't know the science. Two people still need to go in and get more uranium. There is a plan to bury it all in an abandoned mine, of limestone I believe to limit the leakage. The problem with burying it all in one place and setting up a perimmiter in this dead zone is that a) it will still spread/ leak. b) shipping stuff from all over the US to one place in the southwest is very risky. Now it is all required to stay on site at each nuclear plant in the special barrels. The plan for transport is very thourough but still not a pleasing idea. If a truck crashes/ terrorist/ whatever goes wrong you will severly contaminate a large area, 50 mile radius or more. \n\nWould you like to know the plan for shipment? Well here it is. First we've got super buckets to carry it in. Big red plastic looking capsules. We ran them over with a train. Didn't break. Was funny to see a huge red thing fly through the air though. Geographers used computer mapping to find routes that were the quickest but also went through the least populated areas. The final decision was based mainly on the least population and it doesn't travel through major cities. Many objected about going through suburban areas but in some cases there just wasn't enough farm land to pass through without having to make such a detour that it would take a long time and effect more population. The highways and streets it must pass through will be closed to traffic and the trucks will be escorted by military. If your local highway is closed for somereason chances are it's passing through your neighborhood.

The Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). It is regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. Because there was no containment building, a plume of radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, UK, and the eastern United States. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of roughly 200,000 people. About 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus.

While it is true that SC is considered a passive zone, it does not mean that we don't have earthquakes. Actually SC has a history of earthquakes though most of them are small when compared to those in California. In other words, they don't make the major network news reports. For instance, in February of last year we experienced a 2.9 (RS) quake in Columbia. Most of these small quakes occur in the Piedmont areas. In the last few years there have been several to the west of my location. For more info follow on the earthquake mentioned above follow this link... http://www.dnr.sc.gov/geology/images/Earthquake02-18-05.pdf\n\nAs far as knowing when a major earthquake will occur in SC, that is hard to tell. Earthquake prediction is a tricky business.\n\nThe greatest damage would most likely occur on the coastal plain due to liquefaction. That is where loose unconsolidated sediments/soil when shaken become like a liquid. In the case of a larger quake, this is a hazard not for folks just near the "fault line" but for any area on the coastal plain.\n\nThe link below is a map showing the major faults in SC.\nhttp://www.dnr.sc.gov/geology/images/Fault_Map_Generalized.gif\n\nThis link will take you to the USGS's latest earthquake occurrence map (w/in past 7 days). As you can see the west coast has been busy! http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/\n\nThe link below gives you the southeast's earthquakes in the past 6 months. As you can see, SC hasn't had any recently.\nhttp://folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/recenteqs/

There's a little island that is the southern-most beach in NC called Sunset Beach.  There is a pier too, it's beautiful.\n\nhttp://www.coastalnc.com/sswelcome.html

I've seen it in a bag in NC. Try the internet. It may only be in a southern tobacco store somewhere!
