The multi $trillion nightmare of ‘nuclear decommissioning’

The Nuclear Powers of Japan and United Kingdom Enformable, 13 April 12,”…….so far, the true cost and impact of the Fukushima disaster has been massively and criminally downplayed and delayed.

Fukushima has resulted in vast areas of Japan, including some parts of Tokyo becoming so contaminated that the comparisons of the samples taken would show the Soviets would have evacuated and the Americans would designate the area as a hazardous radiological area if part of any US facility.

The fact of the matter remains, nuclear power is a money pit of an unrivaled parallel; whether building, operating, waiting to be transferred while waiting in spent fuel pools, waiting to be transferred to permanent storage in non-existent facilities, or smoldering as the case at the crippled Fukushima reactors.

Even the rosiest estimates for the decontamination and remediation, if such a thing is even possible, involve a multi-decade, multi-trillion dollar nightmare….. http://enformable.com/2012/04/uk-and-japanese-agree-to-act-in-unison-on-nuclear-interests/
