Speaking about the safety record here's what final storage looks like in Germany. That's another eight billion Euros of cleanup costs right there. I'm not usually that crass but whoever ok'd fucking dumping fucking nuclear waste in a fucking salt mine (unsurprisingly, yes, there's water incursions) deserves to be shot.

In a nutshell the sentiment in Germany is that the only people that can be trusted to not play it fast and loose with nuclear safety are the Greens, and the Greens rather don't want to deal with it either so we have a decision.
