Bacteria found to eat forever chemicals — and even some of their toxic byproducts

A University at Buffalo-led team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.

I'm glad that Status Coup is still keeping on top of this and continuing to note that Senator Sherrod Brown, Governor Dewine, and Senator JD Vance all did absolutely nothing helpful about this and even the state's EPA covered it up to protect capital...

.> Globally, nuclear power generation costs continue to rise. The construction cost of a new nuclear plant already exceeds a trillion yen (in the range of 10 billion U.S. dollars), and nuclear is now the most expensive source of electricity. In Japan as well, costs are ballooning for reactor restart safety measures, maintenance, and decommissioning. TEPCO has spent more than a trillion yen on safety measures just for the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata Prefecture.
.> Nuclear power is neither green nor clean. From uranium mining to fuel processing, nuclear plant operation, nuclear waste disposal, and decommissioning, the environment continues to be polluted with radioactive materials. In addition, when operating, nuclear plants continue to generate nuclear waste, which needs to be managed for tens of thousands of years, leaving a burden for future generations. - https://foejapan.org/en/issue/20230310/11849/

> The government is trying to promote the “reuse” of contaminated soil, generated from decontamination work, in public works projects if the soil contains cesium-134 and 137 at levels below 8,000 becquerels/kg. However, this is 80 times the clearance level... for not requiring management as radioactive materials. It must also be noted that the government has a policy of not measuring radioactive materials other than cesium.
