shutting down #nuclear plants is a good example of another incompetent central planner trying to micromanage our energy sector #socialism

this further destabalised germanys (and also the european..) #powergrid.

i'm suprised if we make it through the winter without #brownouts and/or #blackouts.

This weekend, Germany will turn off their last nuclear reactor.

This atomic exit was decided, in part, by a political compromise that has enabled the expansion of renewables.

Even so, exiting nuclear before exiting coal feels extremely backwards from an environmental perspective.

"TEPCO visually confirms melted nuclear fuel at Fukushima plant"

Human beings still cannot enter the buildings where the 3 full meltdowns occurred. Decommissioning will take more than 100 years.

"A robotic study provided the first visual confirmation that melted nuclear fuel broke through a pressure vessel at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. said March 30.

The inspection by the robot started on March 29. It was the first such study at the No. 1 reactor, one of the three reactors that melted down at the plant following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

More than 90 percent of the nuclear fuel at the No. 1 reactor is believed to have fallen from the pressure vessel.

The robot found a large amount of melted fuel debris under the pressure vessel."

"Foundation in Fukushima nuclear plant reactor likely badly damaged"

This poses ongoing risks from new earthquakes as it will take decades (many) to secure/dismantle this structure.

"Ministry plans tests on reusing Fukushima soil in Tokyo area"

"The Environment Ministry is eyeing the Tokyo metropolitan area for its first trial runs outside Fukushima Prefecture on reusing soil decontaminated after the 2011 nuclear disaster, The Asahi Shimbun learned on Dec. 6.

Reusing the soil is part of the government’s efforts to reduce that volume before disposal.

Under the experiment in Tokorozawa, decontaminated soil will be reused for lawns, and tests will be conducted to verify changes in radiation doses in the air.

For the trial runs in Tokyo and Ibaraki Prefecture, the soil will be used for parking lots and flower beds.

'We would like to use the experiments to gain public understanding regarding the reuse of the soil' #Environmental Minister Akihiro Nishimura said at a news conference on Dec. 6"
