Decommissioning nuclear power plants
Global nuclear energy has entered a mature phase of its development. Many reactors have worked through their planned life cycle. The time has come to decommission them. Of the more than 400 energy blocs of nuclear power plants operating in the world, one fourth have already come to the end of their useful lifecycle.

At least two power plants, showed in this video are situated in Sweden, one of them is still in full operation and has an extended lifetime. The other one is Barsebäck (showed in the begining and at maintanance and fuel change) was closed by the government due to a political decision to close down all the power plants in the country without any technical reasons. The last year was the best production year ever.

Those in this video was rather large looking. My first thought was if that was to fall who's going in there.

The Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant used a Soviet RBMK 1500 type reactor, which is the same type as the Chernobyl reactor that exploded. ALL the RBMK type reactors should all be decommissioned because of their flaws in safety and design, that causes them to be unstable when operated outside of the narrow parameters.

because communist governments are just as bad as other types about admitting problems, they knew some of the major faults beforehand and once the government had no choice but to let them investigate flaws in their design further after the accident they were able to develop modifications and strict operating guidelines to ensure the accident could not reoccur at all or only if the staff were as reckless as those handling that reactor during the unapproved, poorly supervised test they were running.

RBMKs, for all there faults, the remaining operating reactions have run safely and without major incident. After Chernobyl, all rbmk reactors were modified for increased safety measures. We won’t build anymore of them, but an accident like Chernobyl will never happen again. You would have to disable every safety system and even then, without the graphite tipped control rods, it’s hard to say if the power spike that was caused by the negative void coefficient would be great enough to cause such an explosion of steam pressure in the modified reactors.

@Bulging Battery -- The U.S. has 6 in the pipeline -- until last week. 4 have been cancelled because they are years behind schedule start-up, over $10 billion over budget in each case, and this is in part due to the "new" reactor design -- the Westinghouse AP1000 -- being more complicated and difficult to construct than thought, a factor that bankrupted Westinghouse and caused its parent company Toshiba to announce a $6 billion write-down (loss) last December, and an announcement that Westinghouse would pull out of the reactor construction business. The other 2 reactors being built in Georgia were supposed to open last year and cost $14 billion. The builders recently told regulators that they would not be complete until around 2023 and cost as much as $27 billion. Still want to build new nukes?? $28 billion buys a lot of solar and wind that is ready TODAY, and doesn't produce long-lived, hazardous high-level radioactive waste; nor do wind turbines melt down during tsunamis, or maybe even Category 4 hurricanes.

The final death toll from Chernobyl has been greatly over exaggerated. Meanwhile, coal, the heavy metals used in batteries for the so called green revolution, which have no where near the safety regulations nuclear power does, kill tens of thousands of people every year. Nuclear is literally the only energy source we have where all the waste that is generated in the production of power is not allowed to just be dumped into the environment.

Why not just tear down old plant and put in a updated plant in its place? Nuclear power is the future weather they want to admit it or not. The trend is to use solar but the batteries are very toxic and so is the process to make solar panels. Not to mention the toxic waste the produce in mining the products to make the panels. Solar panel production causes more green house gases than the panel can save in its life span. Companies are filling there pockets with money getting everyone to buy in on the solar dream.Solar panels will begin to take up farm land. With the earths population growing we will have to make a choice between eating or making power. Not to mention the heating of the atmosphere caused from reflecting it back into the atmosphere. As of now solar farms are powered at night with natural gas steam turbines. Since there is no way to store energy. it will be sometime before that solar energy can be stored for night time use. In the mean time we are increasing our carbon foot print.

Erm, they already use cheap and excess power (some of which is Solar) during the day to pump water to higher points / with greater potential energy, then release this to generators on-demand to address peak events (superbowl like) and any fossil generation going emergency offline. Hydrogen and hot salt storage are also longer term options.

Explosions are quite rare for nuclear power plants and only happens to those of which that don't plan for worst case scenarios. Fukushima's owners chose to ignore a warning 3 years early that there tsunami defenses would not be effective which eventually lead to the lose of the diesel generators which could've prevented the accidents, accidents like Chernobyl happened because the people who made it didn't want to admit there own flaws even when a similar incident happened before at another nuclear power plant with the same design. Now days we have much safer nuclear power plants which work much better, also almost all spent fuel depending on the plant can be stored on site for the plants life time and company's are looking into newer reactor types like WAMSR which spent fuel is contaminated for only about 300 years and not thousands. There's also SMR which can use spent fuel and finish it up. People deserve to know the truth about nuclear power plants and what they are capable of doing to fix climate change, and the usage of fossil fuels, but many people also forget that you will still need a power plant which can very its output for demand which nuclear power plants aren't good at doing at the current day.
You don't need to return a reactor site to green field, sealing the building is more than adequate.

Considering the troubles in Hanford with the different plant's roof ? Including the different plutonium extraction plants. How good can a roof be after 25 years ? The german's reasons to start dismantling the plant now is : we now have a group of people which knows their plant well. Is the plant documentation good enough to support a dismantlement in 40 years? Doubtful, maybe.

Your objective in the end is to free the field, so brown or green. Sealing and forget is allowed only for grave reasons, like Chernobyl-4

Damn it, talk or play music. One or the other. Why, why, why, why do you damn KZreadrs think making people listen to your voice and needless music at the same time is somehow a neat thing? It is not. Please stop.
