Re: How Sweden deals with nuclear waste (none / 1)

Oh no, you misinterpreted that part! The cooling water is absolutely safe to bath in. It does not come from SFR but from the outer cooling circuits of the reactors. The cooling water is transported from the plant in 2 km of underground tunnels to the cooling lagoon from which it is emitted to the sea.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

You should explain the difference between wated from a cooling circuit and water from a high-level-waste cooling pond. "Cooling" is used in two different senses: the ordinary sense of taking heat away, and a metaphorical sense of waiting for radioactivity to die off.

Mea culpa.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. :)
