“…Radioiodine is produced at a rate of 1 Ci (37 giga-Becquerels) per gigawatt of electricity produced by nuclear power (McKay, 1984). For example, if all 22 proposed 1-gigwatt U.S. reactors are built, an additional 22 Ci of 129 I will be generated annually (reactors are 98% efficient), and within seven years these reactors will generate more 129 I waste than currently exists at the Hanford Site (65.5 Ci; Kincaid, 2006) and SRS (26 Ci; Hiergesell et al, 2008). Thus, if only a fraction of the proposed nuclear growth from the "Nuclear Renaissance" is realized, a significant increase in world-wide radioiodine inventory will be created by the nuclear power industry.…”

“…A number of data packages were developed under the control of this plan. For example, a vadose zone data package (Last et al 2006a), an inventory data package (Kincaid et al 2006), and a risk data package ) have been published.…”

“…Currently, 146 Ci of 129 I is inventoried in soils at two U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites, the Hanford Site and the Savannah River Site (SRS), where it has been identified as a key risk driver in contaminated soils and groundwater (21,24). Furthermore, the global inventory of 129 I will increase significantly if just a fraction of the expected "Nuclear Renaissance" is realized (e.g., between China and India alone, 50 to 60 new nuclear reactors are expected to come online by the year 2020) (16,50).…”
