We may have advanced the technologies since Chernobyl but we haven't even come close to dealing with that yet. We just built a multi billion dollar dome for that will possibly last 100 years, provided we keep up with the active measures to extend the life of it. That region will be fucked up for over 10,000 years. How long will Fukushima need the ice wall? I have yet to hear about a comprehensive plan or set of designs that is meltdown proof and doesn’t have a waste problem. It’s a conceptually simple way to make a lot of cleanish energy, and it works now and it works on cloudy days but there are still giant externalities that just haven’t been solved. We can’t even out the waste in deep underground mines in the desert, we haven’t had the political will to do that.
