For what it's worth this brine is potentially a monster source of lithium.
- capableweb 7y agoHow is that relevant to the story about workers being exposed to brine, not being told it's radioactive and everyone is acting casually around waste management around brine?
- asguy 7y agoI found it interesting. Maybe there’s an avenue to better remediation via using the waste as feeder to another chemical process, which ends in more value?
- capableweb 7y agoMe too, but it's hardy relevant to the subject of the article, which is about contamination and people being affected by it, and the industry not taking the necessary precautions when dealing with waste.
- chii 7y agobut it is relevant - if the waste could be made economically viable to process and extract (and as a side effect, the harmful parts removed/utilized), then there would be less pollution and contamination.
- catalogia 7y agoWith all that lithium, at least the workers won't be depressed about getting irradiated.
- htk 7y agoMany interesting discussions here touch on tangential subjects. I for one found the information relevant.
