A New Urgency to the Problem Storing Nuclear Waste

" LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES" or maybe from other peoples mistakes.
The article shows that looking at the mistakes or misfortunes of others you can prevent your self from having to experience the same sour situation which might have been the reason of why all around the world nuclear agencies and corporation are thinking and planning about shutting down nuclear power plants and they are looking for a place which will be a national "nuclear waste depository."
What got people to plan this and to think was the disaster that happened in Fukushima, the fact that all the radioactive waste was dispersed and is STILL affecting Japans population and health. Its sad that such a great disaster had to happen so that people would see how nuclear waste affects our planet. almost all the area of where the power plants were destroy is contaminated such as the soil and even the buildings that holds the turbines.
“it’s just gone on for so long, and there’s so much of it,” said Ian Hore-Lacy who is the head of communications for the World Nuclear Association. Perhaps not just because they are worried that something can happen but also because they cant keep up with it. Power waste plants are filling up and there can be leaks.
its great that people are taking to consideration the safety of the people and (some) for the planet. For example, Germany`s leaders have met to discuss a permanent disposal solution and have also decided to shut down ALL its nuclear power plants by 2022.
