SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the proposed construction of a dike around the Fukushima site, with a radius of 1-2 km, and the filling of water to create an artificial lake. The method involves using polyethylene tape on foam plastic buoys to manage gas emissions. Participants express skepticism about the effectiveness of this solution, emphasizing the need for direct work on the reactors to prevent further radiation leakage into the environment. Concerns are raised regarding the long-term management of radioactive water, which poses a risk of contamination to the ground and seawater.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear reactor safety protocols
  • Knowledge of environmental impact assessments
  • Familiarity with radiation containment methods
  • Basic principles of water management in contaminated sites
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced radiation containment technologies
  • Explore methods for treating and disposing of radioactive water
  • Investigate the effectiveness of dike construction in environmental protection
  • Learn about ongoing Fukushima decommissioning efforts and challenges
USEFUL FOR

Environmental scientists, nuclear safety engineers, policymakers, and anyone involved in disaster management and remediation efforts related to nuclear incidents.

We build the dike round Fukushima (radius 1-2 km) and filling water. Artificial lake we cover the polyethylene tape on foam plastics buoys (for the delete of gases). For 5-6 years it is possible to find the decision of problem, or to dismantle under water.

Excuse me for my English. I hope I was understood.

This is entirely unworkable and doesn't solve the problems anyways. They have to be able to work on the reactors to keep even more radiation from leaking out into the ground, sea water, ETC. And what would we do with all this radioactive water anyways? It's going to get absorbed into the ground, which would defeat the entire purpose of trying to contain the radiation in the first place.
