The smith hybread corn dose a 157 buddel’s of corn per acre. 25% storige,35%farm use,40%sale of eathanall.
One can not eat readio active corn. But there no rull on using it as a fule. corn put a side. the stock is ground for bio-mass for the dtill. files D10:D15:D20:D50 fules.
world war two ship’s used to be coal oil/alahalle burners. it were one takes a nuclear wast land. An makes a caching out it. situssaion ukraine minastery of power said no. In the minastery rush to not pay people. It left Economic barness.

The problem with the ‘cultivation for food’ cycle which applies in parts of the contaminated 50,000 square kilometres is this: while some crops may be relatively safe for human and animal use, the waste such as straw, which contains the radionuclides, is dumped back on the land, and removing and disposing of it is unbelievably costly.

The idea here is to substitute ‘cultivation for biofuels’. Doing this would use all parts of the plants as feedstock. With a four-fuel plant, including burning the final waste to generate heat and electricity, a small amount of low to medium level waste would remain for safe disposal rather than being dumped back on the land.

In effect, the profits of a commercial biofuels sector would pay most of the costs of decontamination. The Belarus Academy of Sciences and several international agencies and research institutes have already demonstrated on a small scale that this concept could work.

And for the fearful out there: existing technologies for scrubbing effluents of radioactivity is widely used and can be easily applied in this scenario. There will be none in the final product, and none will escape into air or water — which does happen at present in the limited cultivation in the contaminated zone.

I’m just wondering if the use of these fuels would release radioactive isotopes much like what’s carried away in the steam of a nuclear reactor.

Instinctively it seems to make sense though. I’ll be really interested in hearing how this works out.

The real problems of Chernobyl area are the radionuclides in the food.

People eat local contaminated food and vegetables.

I think that this project dont resolve the problem of the population of radioactive areas.

Wouldn’t that just suck the radionuclides up into the feedstock, from where they would be distributed, via cars, throughout the earth?

It’s more or less just like when you were a kid, spreading the mashed potatoes around on your plate to make it look like you ate your dinner.
