It's time to make your garden a place filled with skeletons, zombies and creeptastic creatures! Each year I usually do this myself with spider webs, little eyeballs and ghoulish figures, but this year my teen took charge and has been adding things to our garden and porch for days and I love it.

TEPCO is the giant Japanese utility company that brought the world the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. They had a bad record of managing nuclear power well before 2011. They had been chastised in court by the Japanese government for incompetence. Three years before the Fukushima disaster, they had generated an internal report that warned of the possibilities that did come to pass.

Most efforts to deal with spent nuclear fuel involve getting rid of it permanently. The most popular method is deep burial in geological repositories. However, there are also efforts to find a commercial use for it.
Some people love to read. You couldn't get them to stop if you tried. Many of us have stayed up way too late just to read another chapter (and another, and another...). But there are lots of people who don't enjoy reading, either, which is actually fine. Some people see it as a red flag, but everyone has different interests and abilities. One member of my family, for example, doesn't enjoy reading due to a disability but loves being read to and occasionally reading aloud with me.

Few of my posts in this blog have been concerned with the price of uranium on the international energy market. One reason for this lack lies in the fact that the cost of uranium to fuel nuclear power reactors is a small part of the overall cost of construction, maintenance and decommissioning.
