What are the ultimate effects that CAN NOT be determined in the soil and underground environments? Ground Water and underground water sources that can not be measured are affected, right.
All the other natural issues that we as man have no way of determining that have been affected by our misuse of nuclear fuels.
Many can song and dance their way around this issue. But the bottom line is that there will be and can be some major damage to the environment. Anyone that claims that there won't be, is one that we should not listen to.
Remember, anything of this sort can be compromised. The after affects and long term issues damage the environment, regardless of what anyone claims.
No one can guarantee that there will never be another major failure with catastrophic affects within this nuclear power system, regardless of cause...NO ONE!
Far too many variables that can not be controlled with this system.
