It’s already been treated, meaning most radioactive material has been removed, and they plan to heavily dilute the water and slowly dump over a long period of time. Whether they do so or not depends on being approved for it. Not the ideal solution, but could be the best one they found.

@Tarnished It seems we may have to face up to a nuclear future, to avoid excessive global warming.

The problem of dealing with nuclear waste is going to be a headache which will not go away.

Still building a nuclear plant in an earthwork zone was asking for trouble. Damage done!

@SW-User Molten Salt Reactors are a possible avenue for future nuclear power that are much more environmentally friendly than current conventional nuclear reactors.
