  1. ENGINEER HERE: I worked on a waste water treatment plant for a Uranium mine in Australia back in 2005-06. There's a lot that can be done but removing tritium is not that easy and getting all of it out is near impossible. Plus to be fair the amount of toxins in our lives these days is now so great that the Fukushima water is negligible. Things like the lead that was in gasoline for decades did far more damage and effectively gave lead poisoning to the entire planet. The nuclear testing done in the post world war 2 period irradiated the entire human race. Its what makes all the steel made BEFORE that time so valuable and why Pirates raid the ships sunk in World War 2 and World War 1. All of the steel in all, our cars, boats, bridges, trucks,.... etc. is tainted by those tests. We have to accept that we have abused this planet in so many ways its hard to describe and either we learn to take care of it or we die as a species because there is NOTHING ELSE. What I don't like about BOTH SIDES of the nuclear debate is that NEITHER OF THEM tell the whole truth. The pro-nuclear brigade don't talk about either the construction costs, construction time or the decommissioning costs. The anti-nuclear brigade use a staggering amount of scare tactics when there are other things we need to be a lot more scared of like CLIMATE CHANGE, affordable housing, clean food and clean water for a couple of Billion People.
