Nuclear power operating illegally

no storage for nuclear waste

I pointed out repeatedly recently that since Fukushima in 2010 the annual insurance cover required for 100 MW nuclear power plant, and has been raised to 100 billion.  The insurance was raised to 40 billion in 1986 after Chernobyl.

There is no commercial source of insurance over one billion.  So nuclear power has resulted to bribing the nuclear regulator not to enforce this condition of the planning consent.

No adequate insurance, no nuclear power plant can operate!

Three years ago air the storage space for used uranium fission rods was full.  Initially nuclear power uses a short term storage space outside disused nuclear power plants.  Which totally lacks insurance cover for that use!

Such storage areas were designed to short term storage of new fusion rods.  They were never licensed for long term nuclear of storage.  By now all such illegal storage areas will be full.

So what is nuclear power doing with its use uranium fission rods.  Some the obviously illegal!  As is no legal storage capability in the world.

Without legal storage for its use fission rods, uranium nuclear us to shut down.  And never restart.
