Sellafield, Europe’s most hazardous nuclear site, has a worsening leak from a huge silo of radioactive waste that could pose a risk to the public, the Guardian can reveal.
Concerns over safety at the crumbling building, as well as cracks in a reservoir of toxic sludge known as B30, have caused diplomatic tensions with countries including the US, Norway and Ireland, which fear Sellafield has failed to get a grip of the problems.
Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it’s usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn’t have to throttle waterways and flood others.
For this reason, tidal hydro is great. All of the benefits of hydro, none of the environmental ruin of dams.
They are obviously gonna be much less efficient than dams but there’s so much coast line to be taken advantage of.
