Russia Unveils Detailed Plans To Build 21 New Nuclear Power Units By 2030

[FBaggins]

20. Nope... I'm not saying that. Nor most of the rest of your imagined statements.

You are saying that Plutonium and other unstable radio-nucleotides do not produce high levels of radioactivity for centuries or even millennia.

Nope... what I said was that "most unstable" and "long-lived" are contradictory. The higher the activity level, the shorter the half-life. That's a simple fact.

Also - fissile Plutonium isn't "waste" in a recycling program. It's removed and used in new fuel.

The point of reprocessing is that some of the former "waste" isn't waste (it's useful)... and some of it isn't dangerous (thus doesn't require high-security storage for millenia)... and some of it is very short-lived (so you can store it much easier and wait for it to decay away). There is material that remains dangerous for a long period of time (too short-lived to be of no threat... but too long-lived to decay away in a few decades - call it "anti-goldilox)... but it's a very small fraction of the original waste (thus reducing the storage problem substantially).

You are implying neutron embrittlement is reversible in situ

I'm not "implying" it. I'm flat out stating it. And it's certainly not a lie. It's simple physics.

and is the only problem with irradiated metals

What I also implied (correctly) is that neutron embrittlement requires... wait for it... neutron radiation. That's in a pretty limited portion of the plant.

I am saying you are a thoughtless apologist for a dangerous and, with luck, dying industry. You personally always have been such an apologist and you continue to be.

How ironic that this is the only statement to fail to correctly label as a lie.

You claimed, falsely, that Fukushima had had no melt downs.

Untrue. I labeled it a meltdown from the very beginning. I challenge you to find a post that backs up your dishonest claim

You claimed, falsely, that the corium had not exited the containment.

Untrue. Because it isn't false. The evidence to date shows that all three cores remain within the primary containment - specifically refuting claims that it was melting through several feet of concrete into the ground under the reactor. We may very well find that some got out through a breach in the torus (recognized as possible at the time -certainly for unit 2)... but there's no evidence for that to date.

You claimed, falsely that 300 tonnes of water escaping from storage tanks was a couple of buckets full.

Nope. Never claimed that. The volume of a ton of water at sea level and normal temperatures is pretty constant.

You have claimed that the inhabitants of the Prefecture would soon be returning - that remains a falsehood.

Can you provide a link to that claim?

You have claimed that there would be no detectable radiation reaching the US West coast.

Nope. I never said anything of the sort. I challenge you to back that up. I remember clearly discussing such detection at great length mere days after the accident.

There are times when I hope you are paid for your continued distortions and proselytising on behalf of the nuclear industry but I actually think that you are just deluded.

There are times when I hope that your fevered ravings of what you remember me claiming are chemically induced (with prescription of course)... but sometimes I wonder.
