@Mau_or_ Davvero un eccellente articolo che chiarisce finalmente in maniera molto semplice i "veri" problemi che non sono lo sversamento di acqua, ma ben altri (e comuni a TUTTI i #decommissioning di #reattori).

Thanks for sharing 👍

Lack of #commitment to #decommissioning a certain group of #instances. So of course it became critical that there weren’t enough of those instances ready to go in the cloud. And their #token #expired so we had to find a better one. And they took their sweet time to actually consume the work we delegated to them.

Turning off a nuclear plant leads to decades of work and thousands of years of "containment"

"'No one was responsible for the #decommissioning
in the 1960s' when the plant was first designed, Schindel said.

In all, workers at the plant have 1.8 million metric tons of material to sort through and shift.

“'It’s a massive amount,' said Schindel"

"NRC to stake out position on using decommissioning funds for equipment replacement"

"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission planned next week to formally declare its position on a major industry wish-list item: paying for maintenance of nuclear power plants with funds that are supposed to be reserved for tearing the plants down."

Hmmmm, commitment of industry funds set aside for the immense cost of decommissioning #nuclear power plants, as required by law, or give that money back to the industry to pay for them to be able to run the plants for longer than they were designed, and pass on the whole of the decommissioning costs to the taxpayers.

Wonder what they will choose?

Demolition and excavation is taking place at the #Bellingen's Carl Foster's garage on Hyde Street.
Will it be a community venue? Will it be a three storey flat development residential on a very busy road?

“We need stronger laws and regulations to govern the #decommissioning of these toxic facilities because we know the industry will try to cut costs at the expense of the environment and the taxpayer every time.”

Appalled by comments to this excellent article by George Monbiot, still defending #NuclearEnergy as a solution. As if nobody had learned anything from the calamitous decisions of the past that are still ruining our present:

1. the uncontrollable 'accidents' -- #LongIsland, #Windscale, #Chernobyl, #Fukushima

2. the everlasting #radiation

3. the immense cost of #decommissioning and 'cleanup'

4. and the INSOLUBLE problem of #NuclearWaste.
