Even hardened electronics have issues in that kind of a high radiation environment. Seems their efforts are mostly geared toward containment, and I’m sure they know much more than me, but I’d look at remotely controlled demolition and removal/distribution, while the ability to do so still exists.
Is NERC even taking water samples and publishing them?
Having watched the Deepwater Horizon activities live, it seems they could do certain remote control actions with radio or cable controlled normal equipment...like Bobcats and other tractors fitted with specialized gripping equipment.
I’m sure there are overhead cranes etc, and they probably have the best engineers in the world there working on it, but why is nothing happening?
If ever there were a serious threat to the environment...this is it.
