"Scientists have pointed out that China’s own nuclear power plants release wastewater with higher levels of tritium than that found in Fukushima’s discharge, and that the levels are all within the boundaries of levels not considered to be harmful to human health."

"Lured by central govt subsidies, the mayor [of Kaminoseki, Yamaguchi Pref.] ...has accepted Chugoku Electric Power Co.’s proposal to build an interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the struggling town."

🔸75 yo mayor gambling that subsidies for initial steps to building nuclear waste storage will "create an environment where young people can live and raise their children" and won't result in a permanent dump.😬

Russia’s hidden-away nuclear graveyard, and now it’s being remediated.

“The first time I came there [Building Five], I was shocked: I have never seen such a nightmare, did not even conceive it was possible. Just imagine an enormous black windowless building atop of a cliff.”

Making information public about the project – which includes not just a reactor but also new aquatic infrastructure in the Bay of Fundy and new radioactive storage – as well as testing the veracity of claims made about safety, risk and impacts will be difficult if not impossible without a federal Impact Assessment, which has so far been denied. #newbrunswick #nuclearwaste #radioactivewaste

'Hollywood may be gleeful about the long lines to see Oppenheimer, but Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren still thinks Hollywood comes short on reporting on the devastation uranium mining and nuclear testing caused to the country’s largest Indian reservation.

“The Navajo people cannot afford to be, yet again, erased from history,” Nygren writes in a TIME magazine op-ed on July 21, 2023.' #nuclearwaste #navajo #nuclearweapons #atomicbomb #oppenheimer

Residents of Ontario town pondering nuclear crypt take fully paid trip to Finland to see the potential future. The trip to Finland, although impressive, didn't change Wood's mind.
"It would change the entire character," he said. "There's a certain small-town quality of life that you have in a small-town area like Mildmay and South Bruce, and I don't think it will be there if they go ahead." | CBC News #nuclearwaste #radioactivewaste #westernontario https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/nuclear-waste-canada-great-lakes-bruce-1.6911000

#NuclearWaste #Justice #Kimba

The federal government had planned to store low and intermediate level radioactive waste at the proposed facility.

Barngarla traditional owners applied for a judicial review in the Federal Court, arguing the facility would interfere with a sacred site.

They also said they were not properly consulted about the plan before it was approved in 2021.

The court this morning ruled in favour of the native title group, leaving the future of the project in severe doubt.

Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

The wolf in the clearing clears the space
or worse, deliberate incest-paved path.
Danger is an emanation of energy
and growls and bites. The revelations
of meditations on the wood substantially disturb this place.

Metal and dripping death.
The palms of the lupines do not grasp or gesture.
The danger unleashed is of a riparian nature.

The danger is in a particular location.

Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

Using cut-up technique, I combined fragments of my existing poetry with selections from Expert Judgment on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. You might know it form all those “This is not a place of honor” memes. By volume, this poem has much more of my poetry about wolves and coyotes than warnings about nuclear waste, but a little nuclear waste goes a long way, as we all know. This poem was first published in Rigglewelter #14 on October 2018.
