< on 7/13/2007 3:41 PM >
|  | | | I noticed this feature on the CBC news website today. Not sure if anyone cares, but I thought the pictures were interesting.

I visited that place once on a school trip in elementary school.

I've got $5 for the first explorer to get into the reactor core and bring back photos. :p

| | | | Wow that's cool! Hopefully one day we'll get to see it with a bit more decay hehe. I'd be wary about checking out a nuclear power plant even if it had been decommissioned for years. I don't plan on getting irradiated on any of my explorations lol. I'd imagine the security on a place like that would be pretty tight too.
Neat bit of info, I'm curious to see what happens to the place.

There are about 450 of these containers, with about 40 to 50 added each year. The containers are expected to last for 50 years. The long-term plan for storing the highly radioactive nuclear waste remains an open question.
|
Lovely.
So, in 2047, when they have around 2,250 of these boxes sitting around, the ones in the very back are gonna start springing leaks and spewing radioactive waste all over the other ones.
And they haven't really thought about what to do when that happens.

as I used to live in Whitby, which is 2 towns over from pickering, I had the chance to talk to a Security guard while standing in line for groceries. I asked him if they are worried about people stealing the used uranium from the plant for use in a terrorist plot. He said "let them" then he went on to say that If someone was to carry the stuff they would be dead in less than 5 minutes from a heart attack and stuff due to the radiation.. wow. Thats intense.. getting in wouldn't be all that hard.. living afterwards might pose the bigger challenge..
especially if you are in the frikking core.. lolololol
hmm you know it says that the tanks that they use to store the spent uranium after cooling it for 10 years.. you know on the darkside of the moon it gets really really cold.. same with mars.. hmm... that stuff could come in handy.. <if your into lead pyjama's>
I will defeat that which was once untouchable only so that I may now move on |

That's when they will encase the entire building in a giant concrete and steel cocoon which will last another 50 years, but will fail shortly after it's built, irradiating the whole of the GTA making a Chernobyl for North America.

Agent Skelly's right, CANDU reactors are pretty fool proof. *knocks on wood*

It would be cool to UE a nuke powerplant, that's for damn sure... but "the boys" are far more important than any decommissioned core, that's for damn sure.

I once got to attend a an informal chat by Terry Prachett. Needless to say, he is a very funny speaker, as well as a funny writer. Few people know that he used to be a PR flack for the UK nuke agency. Some of the stories that he had to tell...
Some quotes from an mp3 I have of that speech:
"I could say things like 'Radiation? We didn't leak any radiat- ALL RIGHT! Maybe we leaked a SMALL amount of radiation. Look, you couldn't even SEE it!'"
"If you get me drunk enough, I will tell you all the stories, like the man that was too radioactive to be allowed ONTO a nuclear power station..."
"That is when I learned the mentality of Engineers. They would call me up at 2 in the morning, the head of the nuclear station, and say 'You'll never guess whats happened now...'"
"Of course I gave them 3 months notice, because you do not want to make enemies in the nuclear industry. Not unless of course you want the type of fridge where the light stays on even after you shut the door"
"And I particuarly treasure the large, slightly dull metal, not as shiny as I would like, but extremely heavy, commemorative mug they gave me.It's very nice. I kept it on my bedside table, because it means that I do not have to use a nightlight"
This is the part that your post reminded me of:
"I used to have to answer questions like that all the time. I do not know if you know this, but in the reactors we use, when the fuel rods came in, you can handle them with just a pair of gloves on because you do not want to get grease on them, but you could basically handle them without protective clothing. And people would ask 'if their so easy to handle, what is to prevent people from using them AFTER they have been in the reactor, and grab them and run off the power station site?' and we had kind of worked out, how far the person would get before their hand melted..."
"I dare not tell you about the pixies that run the nuclear power industry..."
We convinced him to do so, but unfortunately the tape that was recording this little speech ran out before he got to it. I can not remember the details, but it involved a bulldozer.
For anyone interested in the speech, what was recorded of it, at least, got to http://ia300119.us...Penguicon_2003.mp3

I don't think its just security, its tactical police from Durham region...
Nuclear Security Division
In December of 2001, our police service entered into a long-term agreement with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) designed to provide a dedicated Nuclear Site Response Team at each of the two nuclear generating stations in Durham Region. As a natural development of this unique and constantly evolving project, the Durham Regional Police Nuclear Security Division was created and celebrated its official inauguration in January of 2003.
Now firmly in place at both of the nuclear facilities in Durham Region, the Nuclear Security Division (NSD) works in concert with OPG’s own in-house security force to provide a truly meaningful deterrence to illegal activity. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, the tactically trained members of the Nuclear Site Response Team take great and justifiable pride in their specialized training and abilities.
Operating under the leadership of Inspector Dietmar Schoenrock, the NSR represents a perfectly unique initiative in Canadian policing and permits the Durham Regional Police Service to add yet another facet of meaning to its corporate motto, “Leaders in Community Safety”.

I only lived a few km away in Ajax, I could see the plant from my bedroom window.
