The Danger of A Crazy Man Simply Placing a Traditional Bomb Under A Cask of Atomic Waste is IMMENSE... Sometime During the 10,000 Years That Nuclear Waste is Actively Radioactive, It's Almost Certain that a "WhackJob" will Blow It Up!
Unemployed Physics Graduates Can't Get a Job in the Nuclear Power Industry so they Write Magazine Articles all about how wonderful Nukes Are... and Make Pro Nuke Videos...

What is the main reason why fewer nuclear power plants are being built today compared to 40 years ago? Nuclear power plants have become too expensive to generate electricity at a reasonable cost. Which of the following accurately describes the use of fossil fuels for energy? |
American intelligence officials are racing to understand a mysterious explosion that released radiation off the coast of northern Russia last week, apparently during the test of a new type of nuclear-propelled cruise missile hailed by President Vladimir V. Putin as the centerpiece of Moscow’s arms race with the United States.
Nuclear power is losing ground to renewables in terms of both cost and capacity as its reactors are increasingly seen as less economical and slower to reverse carbon emissions, an industry report said.
Nuclear power is slowly going out of style. Back in 1996, atomic energy supplied 17.6 percent of the world's electricity. Today that's down to just 10.8 percent — and it could drop even further in the years ahead.
The 7 reasons why nuclear energy is not the answer to solve climate change.
Analysis: New nuclear power costs about 5 times more than onshore wind power per kWh. Nuclear takes 5 to 17 years longer between planning and operation and produces on average 23 times the emissions per unit electricity generated. In addition, it creates risk and cost associated with weapons proliferation, meltdown, mining lung cancer, and waste risks. Clean, renewables avoid all such risks.
The hot lab suffered a number of fires involving radioactive materials. For example, in 1957, a fire in the hot cell "got out of control and ... massive contamination" resulted.[23]
At least four of the ten nuclear reactors suffered accidents: 1) The AE6 reactor experienced a release of fission gases in March 1959.[24] 2) In July 1959, the SRE experienced a power excursion and partial meltdown that released 28 Curies of radioactive noble gasses. The release resulted in the maximum off-site exposure of 0.099 millirem and an exposure of 0.018 millirem for the nearest residential building which is well within current limits today.[25] 3) In 1964, the SNAP8ER experienced damage to 80% of its fuel. 4) In 1969 the SNAP8DR experienced similar damage to one-third of its fuel.[24]
A radioactive fire occurred in 1971, involving combustible primary reactor coolant (NaK) contaminated with mixed fission products.[26][27]
The reactors located on the grounds of SSFL were considered experimental, and therefore had no containment structures. Reactors and highly radioactive components were housed without the large concrete domes that surround modern power reactors.[citation needed]
and then a Guy of FaceBorg Said:
I recommend this page,
it debunks the lies about "radiation deaths" supposedly caused by nuclear power. Give it an honest try. I used to be against nuclear power, 3 Mile Island was closed, and yet there was no radiation or damage outside the plant itself. Even Fukishima radiation was down to backround levels within a few hundred yards of the plant. Wildlife is everywhere around Chernobyl, with no observed radiation problems. This site will respond to your arguments against nuclear power with reason and demonstrable statisitics to back their argument that it is safe. I support Solar and Wind power, but it is nowhere near being able to completely replace fossil fuels, just ask Germany, with their new gas pipeline coming from Russia.
Why did the Nuclear Waste policy act fail?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Waste_Policy_Act
The Nuclear Waste Fund previously received $750 million in fee revenues each year and had an unspent balance of $44.5 billion as of the end of FY2017.[8] However (according to the Draft Report by the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future), actions by both Congress and the Executive Branch have made the money in the fund effectively inaccessible to serving its original purpose. The commission made several recommendations on how this situation may be corrected.[9]
In December 1987, Congress amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to designate Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as the only site to be characterized as a permanent repository for all of the nation's nuclear waste.[11] The plan was added to the fiscal 1988 budget reconciliation bill signed on December 22, 1987.
On March 5, 2009, Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a Senate hearing the Yucca Mountain site is no longer viewed as an option for storing reactor waste.[19]
Regardless of whether you are for or against nuclear power, and no matter what you think of nuclear weapons, the radioactive waste is already here, and we have to deal with it.”
That’s Gerald S. Frankel’s matter-of-fact take on the thousands of metric tons of used solid fuel from nuclear power plants worldwide and the millions of liters of radioactive liquid waste from weapons production that sit in temporary storage containers in the US. While these waste materials, which can be harmful to human health and the environment, wait for a more permanent home, their containers age. In some cases, the aging containers have already begun leaking their toxic contents.
“It’s a societal problem that has been handed down to us from our parents’ generation,” says Frankel, who is a materials scientist at the Ohio State University. “And we are—more or less—handing it to our children.”
IN BRIEF:
More than a quarter million metric tons of highly radioactive waste sits in storage near nuclear power plants and weapons production facilities worldwide, with over 90,000 metric tons in the US alone. Emitting radiation that can pose serious risks to human health and the environment, the waste, much of it decades old, awaits permanent disposal in geological repositories, but none are operational. With nowhere to go for now, the hazardous materials and their containers continue to age. That unsustainable situation is driving corrosion experts to better understand how steel, glass, and other materials proposed for long-term nuclear waste storage containers might degrade. Read on to learn how these researchers’ findings might help protect people and the environment from waste leakages.

*JUST JOKING* A Step by Step Guide to the Violet Overgrow of the Ruling Class - A Novel by Gregory Vanderlaan *JUST JOKING*
Step #1:
Boycott Everything Until Prices Come Down.
Corporations owned by the 1% keep on raising prices and collecting windfall profits. They will keep on doing that until people quit buying. If they could, they would charge $100.00 for a Quart of Milk...
Step #2: Sneak Marijuana Cookies onto the Buffet Tables of the Hotels near Capitol Hill in Washington DC. If the "Suits" that Run the Government had a Cannabis Trip... maybe they would think twice about doing evil for a living. Place some Cannabis Edibles in the Senate Dining Room also... At the very least they would change the CrazyLaws® about Marijuana...
Step #3: Cut the Pentagon Budget in Half. This will really anger the Ruling Class as They Profit Greatly from Corporate Welfare. Remember: Since 1945 the US Military has Never Defended the USA... Not Even Once... So all that money being spent at the Pentagon is Just a Way to Transfer Wealth from the Taxpayers to the Owners of Defense Corporations... The same Owners Finance the Campaigns of the Senators and Congressmen that Write the Bills that Fund the Pentagon... So the Money Travels in a Tight Circle... and YOU GET NOTHING...
Step #4: Stop Funding Fossil Fuel Corporations. "U.S. taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars a year subsidizing new fossil fuel exploration, production, and consumption, which directly affects how much oil, natural gas, and coal gets produced—and how much clean energy doesn’t." https://generation180.org/the-absurd-truth-about-fossil-fuel-subsidies/
