No yo won't, because you will think just a bit before drilling the mine shaft over an aquifer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository)
> We have exactly this problem in Gorleben
Looks like the only problems you have in Gorleben are a handful of medical-grade wastes badly conditioned and a very vocal populace.

- shakow 5y agoWould you mind sourcing that? The documents I can find (https://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Endlagerung/Downloads/Description_Gorleben_Part4_Geotechnical_exploration_en.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2 https://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Endlagerung/Downloads/Desc...) seem pretty happy with the current situation.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoThe radiation is destroying nothing. The salt dome itself wasn't as stable as thought before, but that has nothing to do with any radiation. Which btw. isn't much at all, even though the waste has been thrown into caverns recklessly. The really bad stuff sits still above ground in CASTOR cases, sometimes in storage sheds, sometimes under open skies, some in so called temporary storage at the power plants, sometimes in another country, until it's reprocessed. Don't spread lies.
