#Finland's plan for #nuclear #waste risky for future generations
"Onkalo can store 6,500 tons of spent nuclear fuel.. it'll take hundreds of thousands of years b4 te #radioactivity falls to normal, background levels.. According to #IAEA, ~400,000 tons🤦‍♂️of spent fuel hv been produced globally since 1950s, w ⅔ in temporary storage & ⅓ being recycled in a complex process.. There's no permanent underground disposal facility for commercial nuclear waste operational in te world"

Global hibakusha

Who are the “global hibakusha”? As many of us know, hibakusha is the Japanese word used to refer to those who survived the two nuclear attacks conducted by the United States against the people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Those attacks killed between 100,000 and 200,000 human beings instantly, and wounded as many.

Bloomberg article (way down at the bottom) talking about a "significant airborne release" of Cesium-137 somewhere in the world (related to the radioactive shoes and sneakers, no doubt)

"Elsewhere, however, the event was detected, if not immediately noted. Radionuclide monitoring stations more than a thousand kilometers away in Malaysia and in the remote Australian territory the Cocos Islands - part of a global network of sensors deployed by the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation - picked up traces of radiation, Indonesian officials would later be informed. A unit of the US Department of Energy would say in a preliminary assessment seen by Bloomberg News that detections by two different stations at that distance suggests “a significant airborne release” of Cesium-137.'"

Antara News: Ministry confirms C-137 handling in South Lampung completed

October 31, 2025

"...“The task force has completed the handling of cesium-137 radionuclides in South Lampung,” he said in Serang, Banten, on Friday.

He added that the cemetery area where the initial contamination was detected has been sealed with concrete to prevent further spread of radioactive particles.

“The area in South Lampung, particularly at the cemetery site, is now clear,” Hanif confirmed...."

SCMP: Philippine steel firm denies link to alleged radioactive shipment

SteelAsia said it was ordered by the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute to entomb 23 cargo containers allegedly containing radioactive zinc dust

"...The Philippine steel company said it was tagged as the source of the radioactive materials by PNRI, and ordered to entomb the containers in its Calaca scrap recycling plant in Batangas province, according to a statement on Saturday.

“The containers did not originate from SteelAsia,” the company said. The order to entomb the containers is “potentially endangering the community and other corporate locators in that industrial zone – if indeed there is a threat of radioactivity,” it said...."
