The "plan" so far is to keep generating nuke-wast and profiting while doing so,. however there is NO PLAN to deal with the wast,. that little capitalist idea that profits outweigh any future issues is in full effect in the nuke-power industry.

This, and the obvious problems when sht goes bad, as in Russia and Japan, prove that nuke-plants are a money pit and a terrible danger to our children. As usual short term profits over long term thinking is the capitalist system in a nut-shell.

Yeah, Fukushima is mess, but don't forget there are over a hundred nuke-plants in America!!!

There needs to be a more urgent push to both the cleanup in Japan and the safe (if that is even possible) decommissioning here at home.
