The decontamination efforts in residential and agricultural areas across Fukushima Prefecture resulted in the collection of approximately 14 million cubic meters of contaminated soil. This soil has been transported to interim storage facilities built in the towns of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Futaba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Futaba</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Okuma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Okuma</span></a>, where the power plant is located.</p><p>"Local communities only agreed to the construction of these facilities on the condition that the soil would eventually be disposed of outside the prefecture. By law, final disposal must be completed by March 2045, 30 years after storage began. To meet this deadline, the Japanese government held a meeting involving all Cabinet members late last year. The goal is to draft a concrete timeline for disposal by this summer.</p><p>"The government has also proposed reusing soil with radiation levels below a certain threshold. The plan envisions using the soil for public projects across the country, including road embankments and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmland</span></a> development.</p><p>"In Fukushima Prefecture, pilot projects are underway to confirm that reusing the soil is safe. In September 2024, the International Atomic Energy Agency (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAEA</span></a>) concluded that the government's plan complies with its safety standards. However, scientific assurances on safety alone have not been enough to advance the plan. Concerns about potential health risks and local reputational damage remain unresolved.</p><p>"In 2022, the Ministry of the Environment attempted to reuse the soil at three facilities it manages, including Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo, but the plan was derailed by strong opposition from residents. To this day, there is no clear timeline for implementation.</p><p>"Additionally, about a quarter of the removed soil is still too highly contaminated to be reused. This portion will require final disposal outside Fukushima Prefecture, but no schedule or location has been determined.</p><p>"Public understanding of the issue remains insufficient. A December 2023 survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment revealed that over 70% of people outside Fukushima Prefecture were unaware of the plans for reusing or disposing of the soil.</p><p>"The electricity generated by the Fukushima Daiichi plant was primarily consumed in metropolitan areas, especially the Tokyo region. Dealing with the waste soil is a responsibility that must be acknowledged by those who benefited from that power.</p><p>"Meanwhile, the decommissioning of the plant is behind schedule, and those displaced from their hometowns around it are growing increasingly anxious. It is the government's responsibility to urgently present a clear path forward to address the aftermath of the nuclear disaster."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-xl/science/environmental-science/editorial-unresolved-disposal-of-fukushima-nuke-disaster-soil-a-barrier-to-full-recovery/ar-BB1rg7Dt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-xl/science/environm</span><span class="invisible">ental-science/editorial-unresolved-disposal-of-fukushima-nuke-disaster-soil-a-barrier-to-full-recovery/ar-BB1rg7Dt</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEALies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAEALies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPollution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearContamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearContamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a></p>

Nicole Lane, for Investigate Midwest December 10, 2024</p><p>COVERT, Michigan — "The Palisades Nuclear Generating Station, long synonymous with safety lapses and regulatory oversight, is poised for an unprecedented comeback under Michigan Gov. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GretchenWhitmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GretchenWhitmer</span></a>’s plan to reopen the shuttered plant by 2025 — the first attempt of its kind in U.S. history.</p><p>"However, in this robust agricultural region, there are fears about how reopening a problematic plant could impact area farmers and the food they produce.</p><p>"Approximately 6,362 farms are within 50 miles of Palisades. In Van Buren County alone, where the plant is located, there are 838 farms. Michigan’s southwestern corner, home to 80% of the state’s farms, is often called the 'blueberry capital of the world.' </p><p>"'A leak (and) this 150-year-old farm is done,' said Bill Adams, who runs Adams Blueberry Farms in Hartford, Michigan, 16 miles south of the plant. 'Why would they restart something that old and sitting this long?'</p><p>"Opened in 1971, Palisades, which is located along <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LakeMichigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LakeMichigan</span></a>, once generated 5% of Michigan’s electricity, enough to power 800,000 homes. But a litany of mechanical issues plagued its operations for decades.</p><p>"In 2013, the plant leaked 79 gallons of diluted <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWater</span></a> into Lake Michigan, forcing a five-week shutdown — its ninth closure in just two years. </p><p>"Federal regulators repeatedly flagged the plant for safety concerns, from undetected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadiationExposure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadiationExposure</span></a> among employees in 2008 to persistent cracks in its 300,000-gallon storage tank that leaked for over a decade. In 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) described Palisades as having some of the worst cases of nuclear fuel container weakening in the nation.</p><p>"The plant was permanently shut down on May 31, 2022, with its owners citing financial and safety concerns. But just months later, Whitmer announced a plan to revive Palisades, reigniting debates over the risks and benefits of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearEnergy</span></a> in a state still grappling with its troubled legacy.</p><p>"Typically, after 40 years, a nuclear power plant is closed and undergoes a complex decommissioning process that can take up to 30 years to complete.

Kaufman <br>August 9, 2024</p><p>"The United States’ effort to reverse the permanent shutdown of a nuclear station for the first time hit a potential snag this week when an ex-employee at the facility went public with safety concerns about reopening the 53-year-old power plant. </p><p>"Now the company that owns the Palisades Nuclear Generating Station on Michigan’s southwest coast is hitting back at what it called a series of “assumptions” and “inaccurate statements” from Alan Blind, a former engineering director. </p><p>"Blind’s seven-year tenure overlapped with “a period when the plant performed poorly and required significant improvements” and ended nearly a decade before its closure two years ago, according to Florida-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Holtec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holtec</span></a> International, which bought the station from utility giant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Entergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Entergy</span></a> following its shutdown in May 2022. </p><p>"In an unusually pointed 1,000-word rebuttal, Holtec said “significant investments, upgrades, and modifications were made by the prior owner to dramatically and measurably improve plant reliability” in the nine years after Blind’s departure. The company said the process is “on schedule” and announced at a public meeting this month that the plant is on track to reopen in October 2025.</p><p>"But Blind cast doubt on Holtec’s proposed budget and timeline for restoring <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palisades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palisades</span></a> given that no U.S. reactor has ever come back online after ceasing operations ahead of a planned demolition.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"The money is going out. In January, the Biden administration put up $1.1 billion to keep California’s last nuclear power station [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DiabloCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloCanyon</span></a>] from closing. Two months later, the Department of Energy offered Holtec a loan worth $1.5 billion to make Palisades the first U.S. nuclear plant to ever come back online after shutting down in preparation for decommissioning. </p><p>"At least two other utilities are now considering restarting shuttered nuclear reactors, including the unit at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThreeMileIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeMileIsland</span></a> facility in Pennsylvania that did not melt down in 1979. </p><p>"On Monday, Reuters cited Blind saying the Palisades plant received waivers from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission that exempted the facility from modern safety standards that prevent insulation on pipes from breaking down and clogging cooling systems, guard against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthquakes</span></a> and curb risks from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fires</span></a>."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/biden-s-15-billion-deal-to-resurrect-a-nuclear-plant-is-facing-fresh-drama/ar-AA1oxWha" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-us/news/us/biden-s-</span><span class="invisible">15-billion-deal-to-resurrect-a-nuclear-plant-is-facing-fresh-drama/ar-AA1oxWha</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PalisadesNuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PalisadesNuclearPlant</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Michigan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a></p>
