532"Ukraine is interested to participate in mining and possible further processing operations in Mongolia," Yanukovych said. According to him, it may be mining coal, uranium ore, which is the fuel for nuclear power plants, or the extraction of raw materials for fertilizers. Yanukovych did not rule out that construction of certain facilities in the territory of Mongolia may be cost-effective to Ukraine. "So we are now actively studying the situation," he added. The President of Mongolia, during the talks in Kyiv, offered Ukraine to cooperate in the production of coking coal. According to Yanukovych, the Ukrainian side will carefully consider this proposal, and in the near future, experts will travel to Mongolia to study the question "regarding the ways of mining this coal, its quality and, of course, the possibility of its transportation."

As a result of the disaster at Fukushima, I am no longer nuclear-neutral. I now support the technology. . . . A crappy old plant with inadequate safety features was hit by a monster earthquake and a vast tsunami. The electricity supply failed, knocking out the cooling system. The reactors began to explode and melt down. The disaster exposed a familiar legacy of poor design and corner-cutting. Yet, as far as we know, no one has yet received a lethal dose of radiation...
The decommissioning of the Fukushima 1 nuclear plant is delayed by a single problem: Where to dispose of the uranium fuel rods? Many of those rods are extremely radioactive and partially melted, and some contain highly lethal plutonium. |
