40 Year Cleanup

Guardian UK: Fukushima two years on: a dirty job with no end in sight - The tsunami that wrecked the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has led to the toughest nuclear cleanup ever. Radioactive water is still poisoning the sea – and it could take 40 years to fix the mess. Is Japan up to the challenge?

At the rate their doing it, in 40 yrs. there won't be any Japan.

Extreme weather with increased global warming is going to inhibit the cleanup over that period of time. The island countries in the Pacific are really in for it, just like the Philippines just got hit. So your point is well taken.

I think this nuclear stuff is finally going to go away. I have anti-nuke posters I made back in the 70s. It was so clearly a very bad idea and I'm not particularly smart.

I guess I've lost all hope of anyone doing the right thing.
