Out of control: Fukushima will finish off the nuclear industry コントロール不可能:福島原発事故が原発産業を終わりにさせるだろう。


Professor Busby believes the situation is clearly out of control and that no one can go anywhere near it.  “Nobody can go in to measure where these leaks are or do anything about them, because anybody who is to approach that sort of area would be dead quite quickly. They would be seriously harmed”
What happens next is anyone’s guess,
This will have a domino impact on all nuclear reactors in my opinion.  The cost of keeping those still operating will have to go up, and as the cost of decommissioning them becomes clearly extraordinary, often more than double the cost of building them, and sometimes, like Sellafield, orders of magnitude more, and in a climate of disappearing liquidity………  nobody will be able to afford to build any nukes.  There simply won’t be the funds, as all the money that could have been used disappears down the blackhole of decommissioning.
The last nail in the Nuclear coffin …

Then it was decided (as I recently reported) that fuel rods lying perilously in a damaged above ground leaking pool that keeps those rods from melting down and causing an actual out of control nuclear reactor (read explosion + mushroom cloud…) were going to be moved, by hand…  because?  Well the cranes that normally do this have been destroyed by the earthquake, presumably ably assisted by  the tsunami.
At the time I commented “what could go wrong?”……..
Well….  things have actually taken a turn for the worse, even before the attempt to move the rods.  Read more »
