[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MTIxNDIxX0Y3NUJBQQ==] [quote:Citizenperth:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MTE3ODEyX0Q5MDI4NUJC] [quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MTE3NjA4XzJBNTI3MEVF] Fukushima operators fear radioactive water leak http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/fukushima-operators-fear-radioactive-water-leak-1.1226903 [snip] The plant is being decommissioned but continues to experience glitches. A fuel storage pool temporarily lost its cooling system Friday, less than a month after the plant suffered a more extensive outage. The underground tank, several times the size of an Olympic-size swimming pool and similar to an industrial waste dump, is dug directly into the ground and protected by two layers of polyethylene linings inside the outermost clay-based lining, with a felt padding in between each layer. [/quote] cool, we keep highly nuke waste in garden wrap... sophisticated..... [/quote] Well... we wondered what they'd do when they ran out of hard tanks for storage. Did they run out of tanks or has nationalization made them more cost-conscious(cheaper than they already were)? Cutting corners to save money is partly what caused this in the first place. Privately owned nuclear plants for profit, place profit before safety, recklessly gambling the safety and health of the public, relying on long odds in their favor.. We subsidize their construction, pay for the product, pre-pay for decommissioning, pay to clean up their messes, pay with our health when they screw up.. and the owners profit. Helluva racket. No matter how carefully designed and executed, what gets lost in the shuffle, is human error... both in the design and in the execution. In all matters mechanical, Murphy's Law is ubiquitous.
