MediaFaro News DigestA hole in protective shell over the Chernobyl reactor poses risks.For weeks, the Ukrainian authorities have been looking for ways to repair a large hole in the protective shell that covers the fourth reactor of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. When it was erected in 2019, the giant shell was one of the biggest structures ever moved by humans.On 14 February, a Russian drone hit the structure.<a href="https://mediafaro.org/article/20250329-a-hole-in-protective-shell-over-the-chernobyl-reactor-poses-risks?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mediafaro.org/article/20250329-a-hole-in-protective-shell-over-the-chernobyl-reactor-poses-risks?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward</a><a href="https://mastodon.mediafaro.org/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.mediafaro.org/tags/Chernobyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chernobyl</a> <a href="https://mastodon.mediafaro.org/tags/NuclearReactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearReactor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.mediafaro.org/tags/WarInUkraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WarInUkraine</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 28, 1979: Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear power plant, in Pennsylvania, had a level-5 partial meltdown, the worst nuclear power accident in U.S. history, and one of the worst in the world, prior to Chernobyl. TMI operators had not been adequately trained to handle the type of malfunction that led to the meltdown and, consequently, a delay in mitigation efforts. Clean-up began in 1993, at a cost of $2 billion in today’s dollars. Officials concluded that the release of radioactive material from the plant did not raise exposure levels of nearby residents to a level that would increase cancer cases by even one additional case. However, anti-nuclear groups hired their own independent investigators who found that radiation levels in the area were significantly elevated. A peer-reviewed study by Dr. Steven Wing found a significant increase in cancers from 1979-1985 among people living within ten miles of TMI. And in 2009, Dr. Wing said that the amount of radiation released during the accident was likely "thousands of times greater" than the NRC's estimates. In 2024, Bill Gates obtained exclusive rights to the “carbon-free” energy from TMI, once it reopens, to power his Artificial Intelligence farms, starting in 2028. Other Tech Barons are also looking to exploit nuclear power for their energy-hungry AI farms. Data centers currently account for about 1 to 1.5 percent of global electricity use. NVIDIA will be shipping out over 1.5 million AI server units per year by 2027. These servers, alone, would consume at over 85.4 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, more than many small countries use in a year. Yet, the U.S. still has no permanent radioactive waste storage facilities. As of 2023, the U.S. had roughly 88,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors, and all of this is stranded at the reactor sites. Experts expect this number to grow by 2,000 metric tons each year. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/20/energy/three-mile-island-microsoft-ai/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/20/energy/three-mile-island-microsoft-ai/index.html</a><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-ai-boom-could-use-a-shocking-amount-of-electricity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-ai-boom-could-use-a-shocking-amount-of-electricity/</a><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-is-piling-up-does-the-u-s-have-a-plan/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-is-piling-up-does-the-u-s-have-a-plan/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioactive</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclear</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/threemileisland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#threemileisland</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearaccident" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclearaccident</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radiation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radiation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearwaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclearwaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/artificialintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artificialintelligence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billgates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billgates</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chernobyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chernobyl</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cancere</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publichealth</a>

The insulation inside the roof smouldered for the last week and the temperature combined with snowfall on its surface caused the steel covering to rust. There’s also shrapnel damage to the other side of the wall. There’s no risk of radiation release as the purpose of the confinement is to provide long-term cover and prevent raising dust and leaching into the ground from rainfall.What we’re watching here is an eternal monument to the idiocy and ostensible disrespect of Russian army to the safety of the remains of the disaster their Soviet forefathers have caused in a show of utter idiocy and disrespect to safety protocols.

RIGHT?!</li><li>‘The war with the Russian Federation proved that centralised generation does not work’ - except that Ukraine has only had electricity for two years thanks to nuclear power plants, which the Russians did not dare to attack, even though they easily damaged all the conventional power plants, the PV in Tokmak, Nova Kakhovka and other hydroelectric power plants on the Dnipro.</li><li>“only renewables will save us” - as we can see, renewables are absolutely widespread on the front line and for powering shops during power outages, everyone happily runs on PV and small windmills (except no, everybody relies on small petrol generators)</li></ul>Original: <a href="https://www.greenpeace.org/ukraine/novyny/3332/pozytsiya-greenpeace-ukrayina-shchodo-dobudovy-khmel%CA%B9nyts%CA%B9koyi-aes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.greenpeace.org/ukraine/novyny/3332/pozytsiya-greenpeace-ukrayina-shchodo-dobudovy-khmel%CA%B9nyts%CA%B9koyi-aes/</a> (in Ukrainian)
