HOPE, B.C. – AmoTerra and the Government of Hungary have announced their plan to build the first ever total program installation for remediating waste streams, including mixed waste and radioactive material.
According to AmoTerra, incorporating proven leading-edge technologies, the integrated holistic management system, not only remediates waste, but also recovers greater amounts of materials to be recycled, up-cycled and sold.
"These technologies are a logical option for the cleanup challenges posed by landfills globally, in particular, and for addressing nuclear waste, in general. Our solution, in this case, will extend the life of landfills, and hopefully lessen the need to build more," says Eleonora Anderson-Ahl, CEO and co-founder of AmoTerra Corporation, in a statement.
"In addition, we can address the massive problem of radioactive waste across industry sectors. The current solution has been to bury and guard for eternity. Now we can inactivate contaminated materials in a matter of days safely. This potentially helps answer the understandable concerns with the embracing of nuclear power as a green energy solution."
It is anticipated that initial work for building the first ever commercial facility of its kind on the landfill site located at Püspökszilágyi, outside Budapest, will commence in 2017. Funding is coming from "diverse sources," including the European Union.
