Deepwater Horizon Inspections: MMS Skipped Monthly Inspections On Doomed Rig

Thursday, May 20, 2010


Like "clean coal", there is no such thing a "clean and safe" nuclear power.



No one has yet found a durable solution for storing nuclear waste, that remains highly radioactive for centuries.



France continues to deposit thousands of tons of highly radioactive waste into its nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague on the Normandy Atlantic coast, close to the English Channel.



Confirmation that radioactive brine has been leaking for two decades from a German underground deposit for nuclear waste is yet another blow to the idea that nuclear power can safely increase electricity generation and simultaneously reduce emissions.



Radioactive leaks from the nuclear waste deposit Asse II near Braunschweig in Lower Saxony, some 225 km southwest of Berlin, were first discovered in 1988. The state-owned Helmholtz Institute for Scientific Research, which operates the centre, officially admitted the leaks only Jun. 16, under pressure from the German press.
