Is the 9/11 commission really the best parallel, given that its report was heavily suppressed?

Part of that was when Russian logistics officers decided to combine the opium supply in Afghanistan with empty cargo planes headed back to the Soviet Union for exciting business opportunities but yeah, the Graveyard of Empires will continue to trash everyone who decides to waste their time there.

ded posted:fukushima is still a ticking bomb. they have a ton of waste they have no way to get rid of and collecting more daily. That's not entirely true, they actually pioneered a bunch of decontamination methods for cleaning the wastewater, and the recent dump they did was water that actually had lower levels of isotopes than the ocean they were dumping into. Their cooling system is closed loop circulation now, so they are not accumulating more contaminated water. quote:As of early September 2011, the operating rate of the filtering system exceeded the target of 90 percent for the first time. 85,000 tons of water were decontaminated by September 11, with over 100,000 tons of waste water remaining to be treated at the time. The nuclear waste generated by the filters had already filled almost 70 percent of the 800 cubic meters of storage space available at the time. TEPCO had to figure out how to cool the reactors with less than 15 tons of water per day in order to reduce the growth of waste water and nuclear waste to more manageable levels For the most part Fukushima isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer amount of damage we are doing to the climate right now as Japan marches back to Coal and Natural Gas generation methods.

ded posted:Well thats good. Yup, and in turn they are doubling down on Natural Gas and have failed to kick their lignite coal addiction. They could've easily stopped using Lignite coal if they hadn't shuttered their nuclear. Germany is probably the worst example of "Greenwashing" As a bonus: Greenpeace actually runs a German based Natural Gas company, leasing it as "Wind Gas". While we should totally continue to push for strong Nuclear safety and regulation, as well as cleanup, we gotta stop pretending Fukushima, and even Chernobyl are the worst. Worst visible? Yes. Worst overall: No, we're loving our planet so badly that even nuclear disasters like Fukushima and Chernobyl are going to pale in comparison.

I see a bunch of ideas about tritium removal there and promising results from the reverse osmosis stuff several years ago but nothing actually happening with the backlog, contrast this BBC article from October 2020 that indicates the plan is still to start releasing it before they run out of space next year.

Actually the germans decided lignite wasn't dumb enough and are now pelletizing all the pulpwood forests in my corner of the carolinas, drybulk shipping them across the pond, and burning it for power.

Fukishima was a margins edge design with a lot of cost cutting measures and it still survived an earthquake and a tsunami with good marks. Didn't go right, hence why its a disaster, but despite the ~main stream media~ events could equally as easily be used as a study in how to design safety measures and defense in depth to show that modern nuclear engineering works. almost all the nukes in hawaii had to send a few of their number to support front line RADCON work and everybody from our boat reported back that the worst they saw was like 50k counts of cesium in rainwater, which is pretty much ecologically mundane in the long run just don't drink it.

Yeah, and GE called out TEPCO years prior for the placement of their switchgear and generators, Daichi was never fixed but Daini was, which is why it weathered the tsunami without issue. They are still gonna scrap Daini's undamaged reactors. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Feb 16, 2021 |
