JWI Updates the Radioactive Materials and Hazardous Waste Committee

Although Jetstream’s focus remains solidly on clean energy production technologies, Henry Herman, CEO, JWI was aptly invited to attend this week’s Radioactive Materials and Hazardous Waste Interim Committee meeting held in Red River, New Mexico.  The principal reason for this invitation was to provide updates on our overall progress and more specifically our Arc Reactor hydrogen production, desalination and particle breakdown technologies for the purposes of radioactive waste mitigation and/or removal.

The Radioactive Materials and Hazardous Waste Committee sits on the front lines of the State’s policies around the safe handling of hazardous materials by studying and recommending policy proposals for the role New Mexico currently plays and will play in the future of the United States’ safety and energy policies.  According to Eric Martinez, VP of Government Relations at JWI “Their focus as an Interim Committee, lies in the study of key issues facing the state, while at the same time recommending ideas and legislation for the upcoming session.”    

The key issues deserving attention on this day were in JWI’s ability to provide technology that would enable radioactive waste to be broken down and/or providing clean electric generation for a facility capable of such a feat.

In 1998, the Department of Energy (DOE) began utilizing what is known as the WIPP site (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) to store radioactive wastes underground.  The WIPP site is located near Carlsbad, New Mexico and at the time, was the world’s first deep geological disposal sitedesigned to permanently dispose of transuranic or radioactive wastes left behind from the various nuclear programs and their byproducts from different DOE locations. 

Briefly, the amount of time different types of hazardous waste must be stored depends directly upon the type of waste in question. For example low-level radioactive material waste may only require storage for days or months until it is harmless.  Obviously however, the byproducts of nuclear research and development must be stored for thousands of years due to the high-level of radioactivity and the harm it could pose to current and future generations.

To that aim, Mr. Herman provided a detailed explanation of the crossover abilities in our proprietary technologies.  This included the CSP dishes providing clean carbon-negative power for places such as the future LIFE (Laser Inertial Fusion Energy) Facility in Livermore California, located at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, but also in the ability of JWI’s Arc Reactor to break up all matter, including radioactive materials into its constituent elements, i.e. carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.   

In addition, Mr. Herman provided further information on the Arc Reactor, adding “As plasma breaks down any material into its base elements, what we’ve found is that anything can be thrown into the tank and the plasma will break it up…paper, garbage, dirt…the carbon, sulfur and all heavier materials will drop to the bottom of the tank and allow the hydrogen and oxygen to rise to the top.  When they recombine, water is produced from dirt or garbage.”

With all of the abounding reasons to advance into cleaner and more beneficial energy and fuel production methods, along with new and safe ways to destroy hazardous wastes, it is a pleasure to witness the steady progress in moving toward that goal. 

We look forward to continually marking the path of our own evolution with intelligent solutions to the issues we now all face and assisting in producing results that our children will be proud of.

Peace!
