WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources

Ideas

Germany has a moratorium on Nuclear Energy for the next 3 months, and the salt mine that was its experiment in storage of Nuclear Waste COLLAPSED. Where are the Nuclear Geologists in this current conversation about Nuclear's future? No Nukes, ever - its waste is a scourge, forever. Infant mortality is high around nuclear reactors that have had calamities, and further afield, as well.

California voted by referendum in the 1980s never to start a new nuclear plant.
