And since everything runs via capitalist rules, if the State/Country/Town that is responsible for the reactor isn't doing very well, cuts can be made in staff and funding.
"The decrepit nuclear reactor Vermont Yankee has [0]sprung a radioactive leak similar to those at other poorly run reactors in Illinois (Braidwood, Byron and Dresden), Arizona (Palo Verde), and New York (Indian Point). Greenpeace noted 3 years ago that radioactive tritium leaks even [1]threaten Champagne from France. Tritium and its decay product helium 3 are incredibly valuable and there is currently a [2]shortage of helium 3. What, besides shutting down leaky old nuclear plants, could be done to better control release of tritium into the environment?" Supposedly the risk of cancer to humans from this is supposed to be very mild. What we need are materials/organisms that create harvestable energy in appreciable amounts direct from the Sun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
