'Sellafield scandal shows nuclear is not safe or green
It leaches enough radioactive water into the ground to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool every three years'

“Sellafield Nuclear Waste Cleanup Is 13 Years Behind Schedule and £20 Billion Over Budget
A damning new parliamentary report warns that ‘the site is becoming increasingly unsafe’ due to the delays”
Nukleartourismus: Atommüllmüll aus Putononiumfabrik Sellafield unterwegs über die Nordsee nach Nordenham – Ziel Bayern

"Fukushima Pollution Solution: Spread #Radioactivity Far and Wide"
"Japan’s oceanic radioactive pollution was supposed to have been banned with the 1972 Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter. This monumental international law against disposing of hazardous and radioactive wastes at sea prohibits dumping 'from vessels, aircraft, platforms or other man-made structures.'
Yet the use of major undersea pipelines at Fukushima-Daiichi in Japan, at La Hague in France, and at Sellafield in the UK have been granted exemptions — as if the massive pumping systems were not 'man-made.' On a yearly basis, the #LaHague plutonium processing system discharges some 1.4 million barrels worth of liquid radioactive waste into the North Sea, Greenpeace reports.And the UK’s #Sellafield site pumps 24 million barrels of radioactive liquids into Irish Sea every year."
Meanwhile, in the UK:
"Watchdog's warning over #nuclear waste rail crash"
"There's a hidden radioactive waste problem at the heart of net zero:
The problems caused by the #Sellafield plant highlight the need for more considered planning."

#Sellafield: Briten fliegen #Rückbau-Kosten der #Atom-Anlage um die Ohren
"Bei der Bewertung der #Kernenergie-Nutzung geht es meist um den Bau der teuren Anlagen und das weitgehend ungelöste Problem mit dem #Atommüll. Ein weiterer gravierender #Kostenfaktor ist allerdings auch der Rückbau alter Anlagen - das zeigt sich in Großbritannien eindrucksvoll...Die Kosten für die Stilllegung der #Atommülllagerstätte..."

The cost of cleaning up Sellafield is expected to spiral to £136bn and Europe’s biggest nuclear waste dump cannot show how it offers taxpayers value for money, the public spending watchdog has said.
Europe’s most hazardous industrial site has previously been described by a former UK secretary of state as a “bottomless pit of hell, money and despair”.
To all supporters of #nuclear #energy: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/23/sellafield-cleanup-cost-136bn-national-audit-office
Nuclear #power is ruining our future on so many levels. This here is only one of many.
Therefore, #sustainability can't be something associated with nuclear power.
Die Kosten für die Stilllegung der Atomanlage #Sellafield in Großbritannien explodieren auf 163 Milliarden Euro. Ein Projekt, das bis 2125 dauern soll und den Steuerzahlern wenig Gegenwert bietet. #Atomkraft https://winfuture.de/news,146315.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
