It doesn't if you build them away from cities, which many countries are capable of doing.
- teamonkey 4y agoNot many countries in Europe though. You also need a water source like a lake or river, which is where towns tend to be.
- Mrdarknezz 4y agoWell there won't be many towns left unless we start to build alot more nuclear thanks to climate change.
- lamontcg 4y agoNuclear is too expensive and slow to deploy to address climate change, it is being used as a distraction in order to slow down the transition from fossil fuels, just like hydrogen was.
- Mrdarknezz 4y agoNuclear is so far the fastest way to deploy clean energy and has been for decades. I don't see how the most sustainable source of energy is a distraction?
- mschuster91 4y agoFallout doesn't respect human borders. To this day, if you're out hunting game or collecting shrooms in Bavaria, you're well advised to test them for Chernobyl fallout, and required to do so if you're selling it [1]. At the start of last year, that made the headlines in regional papers as a hunter brought in a wild pig that was twice over the radiation limit [2]. The biggest problem are the shrooms because they actively seek out and concentrate radioactive elements in the ground for whatever reason, and then the wildlife eats the contaminated shrooms, further concentrating the radioactivity.
