From Roger Calvert, University of Southampton
You quote Ian Fairlie as saying it would probably not be practical to incinerate the waste graphite from nuclear power stations, because there is so much of it (21 May, p 17).
I suspect any self-respecting coal-fired power station could deal with this waste relatively quickly, and produce useful power from it too. But would the carbon dioxide emissions be debited to the coal-fired station or the original nuclear one?
