Man thats fucking vague click bait headline. What isotope? How much activity? What was in the water? Nah lets not talk relevant details, lets just spread uninformed fear of the nuclear industry instead.
The clean-up operation is expected to take decades, with the most dangerous part — removing radioactive fuel and rubble from three stricken reactors — yet to begin.
Nothing to see here, people. We have everything under control. Like, we totally know what we’re doing.
Still safer than fossil fuels.
And less radioactive

This is a piss poor take.
Tell that to the tens of thousands of people that were displaced. And the alternative to nukes is obviously not fossil fuels but renewable energy.
The Three Gorges dam displaced an approximate 1.3 million people, is of questionable structural integrity because of rushed construction, has had a huge impact on its immediate environment and in the event of a breach endangers 400 million people. While that monstrosity is an outlier, in most instances the construction of a dam will displace a lot of people and carries a sizable risk of breach if the construction isn’t carried out properly. Should or shouldn’t hydroelectric be considered environmentally friendly?
Hydro is the 70s idea of green.
See how people usually only talk about wind/solar rather than suggest building more dams?
If anything places are starting to dismantle dams to restore ecosystems.
Wind and solar have relatively short material lifespans that are expensive or impossible to recycle. It’s all a double edged sword. There is no single solution that will work everywhere on this planet.
Nukes? I’m sorry, but what?
Nuclear power as seen by someone who has no idea what nuclear power is.
I know what nuclear power is, I’m just confused as to why someone would use the word nukes, which is clearly associated with the ammunitions.
Nuclear power has its place in the energy generation system alongside natural energy sources.
Sorry if I was vague, I meant the person you were replying to doesn’t know what nuclear power is, which is why they use a fear mongering term like “nukes” to describe nuclear power.
Yeah, you’re right. It’s not that they’re trying to be careful and prevent more damage, it’s going to take that long because they’re stupid. /s
Nobody knows how long they’re going to take because they still don’t have a fucking clue about how they’re going to do it. I’m not blaming the people working on this stuff, my point is that this technology is still uncontrollable despite what all the apologists keep trying to tell us.

How about we explore all of them instead of shutting down nuclear and replacing them with natural gas. Like they did in New York after Cuomo said nuclear was a part of New York State’s green energy plan. Am I a corpo plant now? No corporation is pushing nuclear right now. It’s too expensive and has way too long of a ROI.

Unless there’s some data I’m missing, I would think Chernobyl was much, much worse
“Worst” you just forgot Chernobyl and Maya but ok
For those of you who were confused by Maya, like me, it is the Mayak or Kyshtyn accident.

That being said, I don’t think the nuclear industry of today should be hamstrung by Soviet incompetence and corruption from the 1950s. I mean these guys at this location were running open loop cooling circuits into the lake and river. We know better than this nowadays.
And has since been learned from. That reactor design is no longer used, specifically because of that. It would take more than just negligence to get a modern reactor to fail. Spreading fear of nuclear benefits no one and harms everyone.
Yeah, Fukushima was almost as bad as climate change! Good thing we phased out nuclear to focus on fossil fuels!
Never said that I m actually pro nuclear but I had to say that Fukushima wasn’t the worst nuclear accident
Shugo has been sniffing the uranium again…
“He sticks everything he finds up his nose.”
Someone’s been makin’ that Los Alamos vintage crack again!
SiiiiiiiiiiiwOOOOOOOOooo this shit hit diffrent than regular cocain. What’s it made of?
