“Options are limited when it comes to disposing of radioactive waste, and only three methods are typically used for tainted water. The first and most expedient one is to dump small batches of about 18,000 gallons intermittently, which is the method favored by Holtec. The second way is to slowly evaporate the radioactive water and release it into the atmosphere, which Lyman said is “hardly any better than pouring it into the river.” The third procedure entails transporting the contaminated substance to another state, which could pose an environmental justice issue depending on where it lands.”

Or you know, we could not make the mistake of nuclear power to begin with.

This is a plant that is being decommissioned.

Tritium seems to decay with a half life of 12 years. The article quotes another expert that specifies that unless their was so much urgency to repurpose the site, the water could just stay there, sealed for about 24 years till it was safe. Since there’s already spent fuel there, this is clearly the best option now that the plant will be abandoned.

In general, we can always seal and bury nuclear waste, waiting for radiation to decay to trace amounts and any company saying the best option is discharge is lying tbh.

    Nuclear energy is never bad.How they choose to ignore safety with its residuals is different
