"nuclear is safe"

Hanford has 1,000s of sites where nuclear waste was dumped in ditches, and is now in soil and plants. When fire finally does cross the reservation, it will re-aerosolize these radionuclides:

"350 acres burn near massive Hanford nuclear waste plant in Eastern WA, diverting workers"

"A third aging underground tank at the Hanford nuclear site is suspected of leaking highly radioactive and hazardous chemical waste into the ground, the Department of Energy said Thursday":

"Eastern WA nuclear workers who inhaled plutonium, radioactive particles are suing"

"A major #radioactive contamination threat to the Columbia River should be removed at the #Hanford #nuclear site before the end of summer.

"Hanford workers have started to pump contaminated water from the final basin of the nuclear reservation’s nine reactors along the Columbia River.

"'This effort will eliminate the risk of a leak of contaminated water to the groundwater about a quarter-mile from the Columbia River,' said Andy Wiborg, the Department of Energy acting deputy assistant manager for river and plateau cleanup."

Hopefully same deal for the "white elephant" nuke plant in Clinton?

More of this, please...!Feds pick #Hanford #nuclear site for massive #SolarFarm

By Conrad Swanson
July 25, 2024

"While Washington struggles to contend with surging demand for electricity, federal officials on Thursday announced plans for a massive solar farm on the Hanford nuclear site.

"The U.S. Department of Energy is negotiating a real estate deal with Chicago-based #HecateEnergy, which would build a solar farm across 8,000 acres of federally owned lands on the heavily #polluted site.

"If built as planned, the project would have the ability to generate up to a gigawatt of renewable energy, and would rank among the largest solar installations in the country. That’s about enough energy to power half of Seattle City Light’s customers during record peak demand.

"The project would also include #battery storage, which is a critical component that allows electricity generated by solar power to be used at times when the sun isn’t shining.

"Producing #RenewableEnergy at the #HanfordSite would mark a substantial new chapter for the land.

"The site covers 560 square miles, nearly half the size of Rhode Island, said Sean O’Brien, executive director of the renewable nonprofit Energy Forward Alliance. For decades, the government made plutonium for nuclear weapons there.

"Despite its history — and contamination — large swaths of the site are not #radioactive, O’Brien said. And local organizations like his and the Tri-City Development Council share a vision for the place to be a national hub of clean energy generation.

"The solar array and battery storage would make up just one portion, albeit a large one, of the site’s renewable energy potential, Reeploeg and O’Brien said.

"The partnership between federal officials and Hecate — representatives for which could not immediately be reached for comment — could sidestep major hurdles these types of massive projects face, said Glenn Blackmon, manager of Washington’s Energy Policy Office."

Safety warnings as #Torness #nuclear plant sees increase in cracks

The cracks were detected in April 2024 and were “at the upper end of expectations”. The first three cracks were discovered at Torness in February 2022. That's risen to 46 cracks.

Spreading cracks could result in debris inhibiting the cooling of hot #radioactive fuel. This can lead to a reactor #meltdown, which can result in the escape of radioactivity into the environment.

The station was originally scheduled to close in 2023, and in 2016 its expected life was extended to 2030.

https://kolektiva.social/@MikeDunnAuthor/112462817309471639 MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social - Today in Labor History May 18, 1979: An Oklahoma jury ruled in favor of the estate of atomic worker Karen Silkwood. Kerr-McGee Nuclear Company was ordered to pay $505,000 in actual damages and $10 million in punitive damages for negligence leading to Silkwood’s plutonium contamination. On appeal, the court reduced the settlement to a pitiful $5,000, the estimated value of her property losses. In 1984, the Supreme Court restored the original verdict, but Kerr-McGee again threatened to appeal. Ultimately, Silkwood’s family settled out of court for $1.38 million and the company never had to admit any wrongdoing.

Silkwood first started working at Kerr-McGee in 1972. She joined the Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers union and participated in a strike. After the strike, her comrades elected her to the union’s bargaining committee. She was the first woman to attain that status at Kerr-McGee. In this role, one of her duties was to investigate health and safety issues. Not surprisingly, she discovered numerous violations, including exposure of workers to contamination. The union accused Kerr-McGee of falsifying inspection records, manufacturing faulty fuel rods and other safety violations. After testifying to the Atomic Energy Commission, Silkwood discovered that her own body and home were contaminated with radiation. Her body contained 400 times the legal limit for plutonium contamination and she was expelling contaminated air from her lungs. Her house was so contaminated they had to destroy much of her personal property.

Later, she decided to go public with documentation proving the company’s negligence. She left a meeting with union officials in order to meet a New York Times journalist. She brought a binder and packet of documents supporting her allegations with her. However, she never made it, dying in a suspicious car crash. The documents were never found. Some journalist believe she was rammed from behind by another vehicle. Investigators noted damage to the read of her car that would be consistent with this hypothesis. She had also received death threats shortly before her death. However, no one has yet substantiated the claims of foul play.

Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?

(long read + video ;))

Kyle Hill - Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?

https://youtu.be/UwFoOVyB40s
https://redirect.invidious.io/UwFoOVyB40s

Disclaimer: I might not have as much knowledge about radiation as kyle hill, but still i'm pretty good and deep into this topic for neurodivergent reasons and out of curiosity/interest. ;)

So ..... _that_ they're going to release this water, was a non-issue for me from the get go. Other nations and power plants release _far_ more radioactive residue per year, as fukushima daiichi is going to release. (On top of that, he says that in the video, we have about 8 kilogram of diluted thorium in the oceans. The amount of thorium in the water which will be released over _decades_ is _just_ 3 grams.)

Kyle Hill nicely show up the facts, provided from tepco, but they are in accordance with international scientific standards.

On top of that, he actually takes a tour to the power plant, looks at the cleaned water itself.. And feels confused.

I have to second that. They tried to make american class advertising premium quality bullshit PR.

Going along with kyle, i agree. Still. While ethically not so ideal and perfect. They need to get their word out.

And, there is no viable alternative as to treat the water as best as chemically possible.... and release the remaining bit of thorium we can't get out into the oceans.

For ah so many reasons sadly.

But _ONE_ which is actually the reason, which turned me away from the "nuclear bridge technology" idea and concept.

That we could and should use nuclear power, as a bridge, for powering us while we try to build alternative and regenerative power sources like wind and solar energy.

And _my_ personal reason, why the fukushima daiichi accident actually really and completely changed my mind, is similar to the reason, why they now need to start to release that water.

It's basically business administration and economics.

We can't economically build really safe nuclear power plants, where we include _all_ costs, from the mining for resources, building a plant, purifying fuels, maintaining fuel and plant, recycling fuel as far as possible, and safely dismantle a plant after it's lifetime _and_ store all the irradiated and naturally radioactive stuff until it becomes harmless lead in millions of years.

It's just not possible.

In a perfect utopia, where our main focus would not be the creation of profit, but research and safe handling of technology.. It would maybe be possible.

But in this capitalistic world? No way ever ... sadly, but realistically.

Like, it was the frickin main reason in chernobyl as well as in fukushima:

Both plants essentially failed not just by neglect or bad management. But because at some point, someone took the cheap route..

Costing thousands of ppl their lives and millions of ppl their homes.

That's why i principally think, nuclear energy is a bad idea. We can't handle it safely .. and as long as capitalism rules the world, we never will be.

Getting that out.... Kyle Hills video is really good and gives a few things to think about .... not just for today, but for the future too. ;)

And still ... they need to get rid of all that treated water... Again, for freaking economical reasons... _meh_

ISW: Russia threatens Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant sabotage

Russia may be signaling a willingness to sabotage the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to dissuade Ukrainian forces from conducting a counteroffensive in the area, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote.

The experts point out that a radioactive leak would be difficult to control and could potentially impact Russian forces more than the Ukrainian ones, depending on given conditions at the time.

They also note that a radiological terror attack would render many areas in occupied southern Ukraine "uninhabitable and ungovernable," degrading Russia's hold over them.

The ISW reminded that Moscow has repeatedly used nuclear threats related to the Zaporizhzhia plant to constrain Ukraine's military actions and prevent further Western assistance to Kyiv
