The area of the cooling towers of decomissioned nuclear plant Biblis has been hit by a flood, but there seems to be no threat of contamination as the area containing waste material is on slightly higher ground.
All the waste has been ready for transport since 2019, but it's still stored on site... 🥴
They still haven't found a place to store the waste safely for long enough, after several decades of searching.
It's one of the main reasons why so many Germans oppose nuclear power.They still haven’t found a place to store the waste safely for long enough

Bullshit. There's so little of it you could store it just about anywhere. Pick a mountain that is relatively geographically stable. Chuck it in there. Literally where that waste stands right now... In the Dry Cask that it's currently in is sufficient.

That makes me feel better.
They said in the video the water level had already peaked, but in my opinion the general danger of having buildings near water will stay. I have witnessed massive buildings and bridges being destroyed by rushing water masses that took boulders with it like wrecking balls and removed the soil under buildings. I cecommend living a bit uphill 😆
