Wow! Thanks for the link.
- schoen 10y agoI had also not heard of this. The English article makes it sound like it's going to take 60 years to invent a way to decommission the reactor, but the more detailed German article on the same topic says > Erst nach einer weiteren Abklingzeit von mindestens 60 Jahren soll der AVR-Behälter schließlich von Robotern zerlegt werden und in ein Endlager überführt werden. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_(J%C3%BClich)#R.C3.BCckbau.2C_Entsorgung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_(J%C3%BClich)#R.C3.BCckbau... 'not until after a further decay period of at least 60 years will the AVR vessel finally be taken apart by robots and transported to a final disposal location' So it seems that the 60 year period isn't specifically to allow for the invention of a decommissioning technique for this site, but primarily to allow the radiation levels inside to diminish. It still sounds like a very extreme situation.
