| >all of that trash is still not solved. How did UK and France solve it? Just ask them and do what they did? > People are suing against solar farms, what do you think a Nimby would be triggered by a nuclear plant? Simple. You make it against the law to sue a giant energy projects because energy is a national/existential issue like defense. There, problem solved. Why do we act like there isn't a switch we can flip when needed to make our problems go away, and instead need to succumb to the whims of a few anti-intellectual nimbys who got brainwashed by anti nuclear propaganda, because "they can sue"? >Personally, I do not want them. I remember Tchernobyl and the fallout afterwards Do you also remember the other power plants in the world that didn't blow up? Imagine if prehistoric humans stopped using fire because someone burned his house down once and "they remember the fire". |
Remove the fuel elements, reprocess what's useful, and store the reprocessed materials and nuclear waste somewhere "temporarily" that isn't really suitable for long-term storage.
Remove intermediate and low level waste from site and also store it "temporarily".
Remove any non-contaminated plant and sell for scrap.
Punt the main part of the problem (scrapping the main reactors and reactor buildings) down the road for a hundred years or so until radiation levels are acceptable for demolition to proceed.
Re-use other parts of the site for projects that can use the existing HV connection, like another reactor, or battery storage.
That's essentially all you can do unless you want to risk a radiological accident.
