That brings up a good point. There are a few nuclear zones that no one lives in right (Chernobyl came to mind after watching that hbo show)? Why don’t we at-least get some value out of of these sad situations and convert one to a nuclear disposal site?
- m4rtink 7y agoIIRC this is already happening in Chernobyl - other than all the wildlife preservation & tourism there is a big solar power plant being built: https://phys.org/news/2018-10-chernobyl-life-solar-power.html https://phys.org/news/2018-10-chernobyl-life-solar-power.htm... The article says they aim for up to 100 MWe capacity in the future, which would be nice, yet still illustrates how very powerful nuclear reactors are, with each of the 4 now inactive Chernobyl blocks producing 1000 MWe (and 3x times as much heat!).

What situation would you prefer: radioactive water waiting safely in a tank in fukushima for 24 years to save your family from cancer, or Chernobyl's birds soaked in Fukushima's water, pooping and molting in your backyard to save TEPCO some money and allow them to circumvent their responsabilities?
