is it new damage, or existing damage that has been newly discovered? the former compels an entirely different conversation.
They should plant sunflower seeds near the reactor. Sunflowers are good at absorbing radiation and they can be cut down and new ones planted in place until the all the radiation is gone.
Ten years and no end in sight. Maybe they should just build a reinforced concrete great pyramid of giza over it and call it a day.
Isn’t nuclear power great?
“Leaked water remaining inside the plant, for now. “
Well that is what they are telling you, but does it make any sense? There is only so much volume in a building.
After the quake they told us that everything was normal and the plant was unaffected. They lie every bit as much as Biden.
So who the hell was dumb enough to authorize a nuclear power plant (or anything else) in one of the most geologically active places on the planet?
Japan sits on top of the location where the Pacific plate slides under an asian plate. (can’t remember its name). This is not a slow, smooth process. Similar to what happens in wackifornia, it sits there and builds up pressure for years, or less, then suddenly lurches a few inches to a few feet, depending on how long and how much buildup. Instant earthquake. Yes I know San Andreas is a different type of fault. The process is very similar though.
The friction caused underneath results in much heat, which in turn results in active volcanoes on the island. So if the earthquakes don’t ruin your day, the volcanoes might.
Really stupid place to build anything that resembles a nuclear facility. Guaranteed disaster.
And according to an article I read a couple of years ago, radioactive items are showing up in the pacific northweest, from this already broken nuclear facility. I can’t remember what, trash, fish not sure. Just the diluted radiation in the water maybe. But if it’s not already here, the Pacific version of the Gulf Stteam is bringing it here now. And Japan does not have it contained.
