https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daini_Nuclear_Power_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daini_Nuclear_Power_... < This one, just a few miles away worked according to plan, and was a base for safe operations in all that chaos that ensued, because Fukushima Daichi was planned bad, ignoring hundreds of years of local knowledge, including stone markers which showed how high former tsunamis reached there. And then putting emergency infrastructure below that line, also not installing available systems which would have stopped the hydrogen explosions from happening.
Chernobyl? Human stupidity commited by 'Apparatshiks'.
TMI? Shrug. Shit happens. Was there more than a great panic about not that much? Is there a large exclusion zone? Was there ever one?
> Is that burying it deep underground?
Yes, why not? It's perfectly workable to 'feel good' about it, though not strictly necessary. The Fins do it. The US could have this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_repository https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_r... , the opposition against that is ridiculous, considering Nevada is irradiated anyway because of all the nuclear testing there :)
Otherwise: Eminent domain! Comply or die!
- tharmas 2y ago>Chernobyl? Human stupidity commited by 'Apparatshiks'. This is partly my point. Nuclear is dangerous because idiots can make mistakes. Can you do that with wind and solar? Yes, there are lots of things that, in the hands of idiots, can be a disaster but I think Nuclear Power is one of the most dangerous. So far we've avoided annihilation via Nuclear Weapons but lately that's become a concern again. It all depends on who is running the show. And that to repeat is my concern over Nuclear Power.
