Cernavoda shutdown poses immediate problems for Moldova, which relies on Romanian power to cover its own electricity shortagesGuardian staff reporter (the Guardian)
So climate change shuts down French and Romanian nuclear plants. I guess you have to have jellyfish-free water to run them. Maybe consider that in your planning for the climate apocalypse

- Há 10 anos, Praza Pública perguntou quem estava a mirar as 140 000 tm de resíduos radiativos que, entre 1949 e 1982, oito países tiraram na Fossa Atlántica (a 300 km da Galiza e a 200 de Asturies). A resposta foi "ninguém". Agora temos imagens. Alguns barris já estão a lançar o contido ao mar e moitos outros estão moi degradados. A resposta segue a ser a mesma. praza.gal/ciencia-e-tecnoloxia…
A segunda misión do proxecto científico francés NODSSUM descende no submarino Nautile case 5.000 metros ata os barrís con refugallos radioactivos guindados á Foxa Atlántica, de cuxo control as autoridades internacionais seguen a desentenderse.Praza Pública

40 years ago the catastrophe of #Chernobyl happened
After countless accidents in #nuclear power plants it proved that #nuclearenergy is deadly
And that most governments will lie to you about dangers as it happened all over #Europe, not only in parts of the #sovietunion
Vast parts of Europe are still contaminated
Millions suffered & are still suffering
But as humans are not good in identifying invisible #dangers some are still trying to get nuclear energy back
But #resistance is possible
🇬🇧 How high do you estimate the costs for nuclear energy accidents, globally, alltogether, so far?

Chernobyl is not history: its toxic nuclear legacy is still unfolding, and Russia’s war no Ukraine has made the danger worse.
After the drone strike damaged the confinement arch, the risk of collapse grew and vital dismantling work was pushed further out of reach.

Kyiv has accused Russia of repeatedly targeting the site during Moscow's full-scale invasion, including in a strike last year that pierced its modern, outer protective shell.The Japan Times
A Russian drone strike has damaged Chornobyl’s protective shield, raising the risk of radioactive dust being released if repairs keep stalling.
Nuclear is dirty, dangerous and fragile, and people and nature should never be left to pay the price.

Greenpeace condemns Trump's threat to target Iran’s electricity infrastructure, warning it could trigger a humanitarian catastrophe and risks nuclear disaster escalating into a wider regional crisis.Greenpeace International
To dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence, the Trump administration is rewriting thousands of pages of nuclear power regulations while downplaying safety issues and focusing on industry incentives.
