  1. What, they couldn’t just magically transport all the radioactive dust in a barrel underground so it can fuck up the water table forever after it corrodes through the barrel and concrete?

    who woulda thunk it

  2. The plant in the article is a weapons enrichment facility, not a power generating facility.

    The headline is very misleading and is just an example of more anti-nuclear power propaganda.

    Nuclear is positioned to greatly aide the transition to renewables. Why I am worried about Trump’s view on safety, nuclear is the safest it’s ever been and I’m glad he he’s keen toward it.
