Disassemble All Nuclear Power Plants NOW!

No need to store. They can be used again already (at least in my country).

Try life without electricity and internet, first.

the technology is there for solar power, but they WANT us as slaves to gas, the supply chain, nuclear power.

What are you going to replace nuclear with? Coal?

This would be the hardest part... Currently there is no method of altering radioactive half-life. This radioactive waste has such a long half-life that there isn't a feasible way for us to dispose of it in our lifetime sans jettisoning it into space. Which is an idea I'm kind of against, we don't know what we may piss off sending that stuff off into space or if it'll catch an orbit somewhere and return to fuck us down the road.

If this stuff causes so much trouble and is so hard to get rid of don't you agree it is pretty stupid we continue to extract and use it?

current reactor technology will deplete all the world's uranium in 60 years and leave us with a huge mess.

Ya,no power until hippies come up with a way to generate electricity for us all...in the meantime, we can never fuel up again, withdraw money and we essentially eat each other. Believe it. Nuclear power is MUCH safer then your alternative reality sport.

This hippy says you are deluded...
Here is a part of the legacy of nuclear..
Enjoy.

And, for our russian friend.. good job, bubba.
5 of the ten are in your part of the world...



10 Most Radioactive Places on Earth

The bans on building new nuclear facilities is the problem, not the solution. We haven't build a new nuclear facility in a long time, but the technology for making new nuclear facilities has improved dramatically. The new designs are cheaper and safer to operate, while generating less waste. They also don't carry the chance of a meltdown like the ones we currently operate. But we are forbidden from building them the new designed ones. The old ones can't be shut down, because they won't be allowed to put up new, safer ones in their place.

Can't we all agree that existing nuclear plants be allowed to build a brand new (or several smaller) plants now, so that they can shut down the old plants that they have now when the new ones come on line?

Stop blaming nuclear energy as the problem and start blaming the governments who want nuclear weapons out of their reactors and want to kill people with them. Blaming nuclear energy is like blaming guns for killing people.

Yes there are safer means of producing nuclear energy, yes there is a convieniant way of dealing with nuclear waste and yes, we will see these reactors being used in the future since Bill Gates invested in quite a few and China is already building them.

Without nuclear energy we would be stripping our forests for wood and leveling mountains for coal. There is no alternative until cold fusion becomes a reality.

Solar and Wind would work, but our greedy corporations won't allow for that.

Thorium reactors!

disassemble all nuclear power plants and pursue other kinds of energy. These power plants are ticking time bombs just waiting to destroy ourselves. Our children will ask why our generation were such fools....

current reactor technology will deplete all the world's uranium in 60 years and leave us with a huge mess.

There is always an alternative and its the way of life our forefathers used to live before disasterous industrial revolution.

no need to do that, just need to find safer ways to generate power. its stupid to have such a huge risk hanging over our heads

Nothing will replace it... What could replace it won't let us live the way we do... population would need to decline as well...

Any idea where to put the hundreds of thousands of ton extremely radioactive waste then?

"Blaming nuclear energy is like blaming guns for killing people. "

Ill-designed booby traps we have discovered. Have you not?
I was pro nuk before Fuku....now take a relook on backup generators and foolproof power in our own country...that's the pools...now the reactors...fuku proves the cores can explode their contents country wide...this fact alone renders this design unsustainable (ha ha)...the only protection the industry against this is the lie that it was a hydrogen explosion that occurred in Unit 3...all evidence shows otherwise. Many of US reactors can blast their blessing countrywide....reassuring?
Ps- I can't stand whinny enviros but on this they were right

Leave it where it is and concrete over it like they did with Chernobyl. What do they intend to do with it now anyway?

I work in the nuc field.

The standard for safety in a US plant is 1 to 10(7th power) chance of a catastrophic event happening during the plants life-cycle, from construction to decomisssioning.

The NRC are highly antagonistic as a watch dog and don't put up with unsafe and sloppy pratices.
