And nobody knows what to do about it. Do you?

They're cleaning it up. With Robots even.

Sorry, Slavs, I guess you're to remain an embarassment with Chernobyl.

Slavs stopped the core poisoning the ground water and have encased the plant in a brand new sarcophagus that will probably be as mysterious as the Pyramids in a few thousand years. The first sarcophagus began construction less than 30 days after the event.

Meanwhile in Japan, the robots are being cucked by radiation before they can do anything useful. It's been almost seven years now.

>They're cleaning it up
lol
They are desperately trying to contain whatever they can without much success.
They dont even know how the melted cores look like, because any electronics that come closer black out due to radiation, and the highly contaminated cooling water they still dump in there is partly stored in giant tanks and partly seeps into the groundwater and the ocean.
The area around the plant is basically becoming one giant radioactive swamp.

There is really no practical solution to this at the moment.

Some of the contaminated areas around slowly get cleaned up, mostly by removing the top layers of soil and "sweeping them under the carpet" (burying them somewhere).

On the bright side: there will be an exclusion zone for decades and centuries to come and if it develops like chernobyl, nature will reclaim it.
In chernobyl there's europes biggest beaver and wolf populations, wild horses and european bison, and all kinds of other animals that are well there because nobody lives there or tries to hunt the radioactive animals.

In conclusion: strong radioactive contamination is less harmful to ecosystems than "normal" activity by industrialized humans.

If animals are fine there, why does it have to be an exclusion zone?

Because animals are held to different standard then humans?

...

Brain test:

>When the radioactive water from the plant was released into the sea it killed nearly all fish nearby. Why?

I’ve always wonder, how do animals differ, like an autistic beaver is spotted. In other words, what does radiation do to animals at these zones.

They are fine since no humans are there,radiation is poisoning them yes but at least there are no humans.
