Imagine… “I just love sitting through annoying unskippable ads so much! And I simply can’t wait to see more ads still when I pause!”

Sadly that’s what the human race does. It’s nothing unique to nuclear power.
It still baffles me, for example, that with all this technology, we still generate all this rubbish which we then bury in the ground. And we all know it. We all buy things in disposable packaging. We are all complicit.
The care and maintenance stage is part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) decommissioning strategy and spans an 80+ year period. This waiting period allows for radiation levels within the reactor core to decline and helps to facilitate a smoother demolition process. Dungeness A is due to enter the care and maintenance phase in 2027. Demolition of reactor buildings and final site clearance is planned for 2088 to 2098

It’s an amazing place. I visited last month. You can overlook the power station from a nearby lighthouse.
When reading about dungeness reactor i learned that even reactors that haven’t melted down also take about a hundred years to decommission safely.
Another interesting stat I heard on a podcast is that the coal industry has proven much more deadly than the nuclear industry in terms of human lives lost.
Hopefully people will reverse engineer the firmware and protocol so that the old devices aren’t total landfill.
Google have lost their mind…
Simple. Don’t buy HP ever again.
