Chapter 344 Dumping Nuclear Waste

"Yo, Tyrant, you're also interested in the Indians' nuclear power plant?" Hearing Tang Feng's question, Hansen said with a smile.

"I can't say how interested I am, I just think these A-San are not authentic, some time ago I read the newspaper, it was the International Atomic Energy Association that the people caught Ah San dumping nuclear waste into the Somali waters, and it made a big scene. Besides, aren't we idle and bored now, let's talk about it. ”

"Hehe, Tyrant, I also saw what you said. In fact, not only Indians, but also people from some other countries are now dumping nuclear waste into the waters of Somalia, who makes Somalia chaotic now, no one manages their waters, and the Somali Sea basin is a deep and well-organized sea area, so it is nothing where the nuclear countries in the world dump nuclear waste now. In fact, in addition to Indians, at least more than ten other countries have dumped nuclear waste into the Somali Basin! ”

Hansen's story is really not sensational. Since Somalia descended into anarchy in the nineties, the Somali Sea Basin, which clings almost to the Somali coastline, has become a treasure trove of places for nuclear states to dump nuclear waste.

At present, there are generally two ways to dispose of nuclear waste, one is to dry the nuclear waste and put it in a storage tank to bury it deep underground, which is generally used by those countries with vast territories, such as the United States, China, Canada, and Russia. Another method is to put nuclear waste in storage tanks, transport them directly to the sea at a depth of about 4 kilometers, and dump the tanks directly on the seabed. Most of the countries that use this method are relatively small in terms of land area, such as France, the United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea, and other countries.

However, if you want to use marine treatment, you need to find a suitable dumping site, which is difficult to find. There are many such locations on the high seas. But the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) and the United Nations Convention on the Sea (UNCLOS) don't allow it, so you can only dump nuclear waste in your own territorial waters. However, there is no depth of 4,000 meters in the territorial waters of most countries, so this kind of deep sea that can be used to dispose of nuclear waste is actually very sought-after.

At this time, Somalia has become anarchy, and everyone knows that the Somali Sea basin, which is close to the Somali coastline, is a sea area with sufficient depth, even if it is a hundred nautical miles from the Somali coast. The depth can be up to 4,000 meters, which fully meets the requirements for dumping nuclear waste. Moreover, legally speaking, the coast of Somalia belongs to the territorial waters of Somalia, so the International Atomic Energy Association has no control over the dumping of nuclear waste in that area.

In fact, the nuclear waste of some countries in Europe is a large amount of money to some countries along the African coast every year to use their country's territorial waters to dispose of nuclear waste, after all, many countries on the west coast of Africa have territorial waters. are eligible for the disposal of nuclear waste.

In the past, when there was a government in Somalia, if you wanted to dispose of nuclear waste from the Somali Sea basin, you either had to pay a lot of money to the Somali government, or the Somali government didn't agree to you disposing of nuclear waste in my waters.

It's good now, Somalia has no leader, there is not even a decent government, there are four or five large and small governments in the country, who are you listening to? You can't even handle your domestic affairs now. What do you rely on to manage your territorial waters? Is that just counting on the Somali pirates?

So, take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those nuclear countries that lack moral conscience have begun to secretly dump nuclear waste into the waters off Somalia, anyway, no one cares, whether anyone collects money, if it does not fall at this time, when will it fall?

As the closest nuclear state to Somalia. Naturally, India's A-1 will not let go of this opportunity, after all, there is the backing of the United States, so the waters off Somalia have become India's backyard for dumping low-level nuclear waste.

As a result, this matter was reported by someone who cares, once when Indians were dumping nuclear waste. The International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) was arrested when he heard the news, and although there was nothing he could do about the Indians, the matter was still quite a big one.

After all, dumping nuclear waste at people's doorsteps, although it is not high-level nuclear waste, is not a reasonable thing to say!

Tang Feng spat a mouthful, "Xite, these Ah San are really inhumane, taking advantage of the fact that there is no one at home, pouring this kind of thing to the door of someone's house is simply a loss of conscience!" ”

Hansen said with a smile: "Tyrant, in fact, the Indians are quite restrained, at least most of the nuclear waste dumped by the Indians into Somalia is low-level nuclear waste, and those medium- and high-level nuclear waste, the Indians still dispose of it in their own country." ”

After a pause, Hansen continued: "A few years ago, when I was working as a security guard in the United States, I had a mission, that is, to follow Westinghouse engineers to India to build a nuclear power plant for India, at that time, I followed Westinghouse engineers to several existing nuclear power plants in India, including two nuclear power plants in Rajasthan, India. At that time, I also followed the engineers of Westinghouse Electric to visit the nuclear waste disposal base set up by the Indians in the depths of the Thar Desert, so I knew that most of the high-level nuclear waste of the Indians was stored under the ground of the Thar Desert! Hehe, if you want to talk about it, I can be regarded as a leak, after all, this kind of location for storing nuclear waste can be regarded as a secret in India. ”

The antenna on the side said with a smile: "Boss, can the Indians still build their own nuclear waste storage base?" I'm really skeptical of their skills! ”

Hansen shook his head and said: "Bruce, don't underestimate the Indians, now India has a lot of nuclear warheads, their nuclear technology is still good, although in the past few decades because they have been excluded from the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty", but in the past ten years, the relationship between Indians and the United States has maintained a good relationship, so in the past ten years, the Indians have obtained a lot of new technologies from the United States, including the technology to deal with high-level nuclear waste." ”

"As far as I know, there is a large nuclear waste storage base in a place called Bahra in the depths of the Thar Desert, which is close to the border between India and Pakistan, and it is a no-man's land, and it is said that more than two-thirds of India's high-level nuclear waste is stored there!"

Tang Feng took out Epade, clicked on it, logged on Google Earth, looked for it, pointed to a place in the depths of the Thar Desert that was only marked with a name, and asked, "Are you talking about this place?" (To be continued......)
