EPA Hits Nuclear Power With Kryptonite


EPA Hits Nuclear Power With Kryptonite
EPA’s latest proposed emissions rule for nuclear power plants focuses on a none-issue that has never been a problem: Kr-85. Kr-85 is a noble gas that cannot react with anything, can’t form chemical compounds or even individual molecules, and can’t enter biological pathways. Kr-85 can’t do anything but completely dissipate immediately upon leaving the reactor.
