The nuclear dilemma: What does France’s nuclear waste plan in Bure mean for Luxembourg?

The Cigéo project in Bure, in the Meuse region of France, is one of the country's most controversial projects. If approved, underground facilities for the long-term storage of radioactive waste from France’s nuclear power plants will be built.

Nuclear power seems an attractive option for low carbon emission power generation, but until an environmentally friendly way of dealing with the radioactive waste is found, it just plain isn't...

Japan reactor restart sparks fresh fears over nuclear waste storage

The reboot highlights a dire problem for the country's nuclear program. Japan is running out of space to store spent nuclear fuel and lacks plans for radioactive waste disposal.

The trouble is I think that a solar farm, say, would have to be pretty huge to supply the power demand of just one mega data Centre. Remembering of course it would need a huge battery facility, also dedicated to the data centre.

I’m suspicious that the big tech companies could use data centres power demand as a way to force Australia to start installing small fission nuclear reactors dedicated to data centre supply.

Time for the government to stand up to this bullshit.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings began removing nuclear fuel from the spent fuel pool of the No. 2 reactor at its tsunami-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/06/02/japan/nuclear-fuel-removal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #nuclearenergy #nuclearwaste #fukushima #fukushimano2
Removal of nuclear fuel from Fukushima plant reactor pool begins

Radiation levels at the No. 2 reactor building are still high after the nuclear fuel in the reactor melted down in the March 2011 accident.

I know it's old news, but when I saw mention of this just now, a lot of #despair arose for me. The crash is ramping up and it's going to hurt when it comes. It already hurts now.

Peripatetic Plutonium - Lawyers, Guns & Money

The US government has 34 tons of plutonium it wants to dispose of. By 1990, the US and Russia held something like 65,000 nuclear weapons. The dissolution of the Soviet Union led to significant decreases on both sides. Bill Clinton negotiated an agreement that the US and Russia would each dispose of 34 tons of […]
