On one floor, we stopped to look at a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV – a steamer trunk-sized thing with a yellow carapace, floating in the algal-green water. “So it’ll float down to the bottom of the pond, pick up a nuclear rod that has fallen out of a skip, and put it back into the skip.” Sometimes, though, a human touch is required. Nuclear plants keep so much water on hand – to cool fuel, moderate the reactor’s heat, or generate steam – that a class of specialist divers works only in the ponds and tanks at these plants, inspecting and repairing them.

"As soon as you build the dam, or enlarge a dam, you have less water because you get evaporation. Out of Burrendong the evaporation is about 10 per cent of the water so immediately you get less water for a dam. "We can't be trying to squeeze every drop of water out of these rivers for developing and abstracting that water for irrigation." Rigney is also critical of how water is allocated in the Murray-Darling Basin. Grant Rigney is a Ngarrindjeri man and chair of Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations .

M1 Abrams main battle tanks, which weigh 70 tons, are so heavy that they are usually sent to Europe, South Korea, and elsewhere by ship, and that takes about two weeks, not including the time to get the tanks on and off ships, Milley said. Milley talked to Task & Purpose at Saturday’s Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia about how the Army needs to have a vehicle that is light enough to be flown into combat zones to support infantry units. "We will go back into a dry period at some point and with water in the storages, things are very well placed to be able to manage through the first part of that dry cycle." "Communities are under a lot of pressure at the moment, there's going to be a period of recovery … but certainly with the volumes of water held in storage, there will be a couple of years with very strong allocations to entitlements. Adelaide water consultant Dr Erin Smith is more optimistic about how Australia is responding to the dramatic changes to water supply. "While you've got the same available water determination allocation policy, all that's going to happen is irrigation will have more water allocated to it because the town volumes are pretty well fixed.

At the moment, Nuclear Waste Services is in discussions with four communities about the potential to host a GDF. Three are in Cumbria, and if the GDF does wind up in this neighbourhood, the Sellafield enterprise would have come full circle. After the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, several countries began shuttering their reactors and tearing up plans for new ones. They’d become inordinately expensive to build and maintain, in any case, especially compared to solar and wind installations. In the UK, the fraction of electricity generated by nuclear plants has slid steadily downwards, from 25% in the 1990s to 16% in 2020. Of the five nuclear stations still producing power, only one will run beyond 2028.

I only ever saw a dummy of a spent fuel rod; the real thing would have been a metre long, weighed 10-12kg, and, when it emerged from a reactor, run to temperatures of 2,800C, half as hot as the surface of the sun. In a reactor, hundreds of rods of fresh uranium fuel slide into a pile of graphite blocks. Then a stream of neutrons, usually emitted by an even more radioactive metal such as californium, is directed into the pile. Those neutrons generate more neutrons out of uranium atoms, which generate still more neutrons out of other uranium atoms, and so on, the whole process begetting vast quantities of heat that can turn water into steam and drive turbines. Strauss was, like many others, held captive by one measure of time and unable to truly fathom another. The short-termism of policymaking neglected any plans that had to be made for the abominably lengthy, costly life of radioactive waste.

Skip No 9738 went into the map, one more hard-won addition to Sellafield’s knowledge of itself. Anywhere else, this state of temporariness might induce a mood of lax detachment, like a transit lounge to a frequent flyer. But at Sellafield, with all its caches of radioactivity, the thought of catastrophe is so ever-present that you feel your surroundings with a heightened keenness. At one point, when we were walking through the site, a member of the Sellafield team pointed out three different waste storage facilities within a 500-metre radius.

The year before the pandemic, a sump tank attached to a waste pond sprang a leak and had to be grouted shut. It posed no health risk, Sellafield determined, so it was still dripping liquid into the ground when I visited. The silos are rudimentary concrete bins, built for waste to be tipped in, but for no other kind of access.

Dixon’s father had been a welder here, and her husband is one of the firefighters stationed permanently on site. When she says Sellafield is one big family, she isn’t just being metaphorical. To prevent that disaster, the waste must be hauled out, the silos destroyed and the ponds filled in with soil and paved over. The salvaged waste will then be transferred to more secure buildings that will be erected on site. But even that will be only a provisional arrangement, lasting a few decades.

"It's been a slow decline … changes to the landscape from influences to water regimes don't happen overnight, they're a gradual process. Water released from Burrendong flows up the Macquarie River, providing a number of rural towns with a much-needed water supply. While the rain has been devastating for so many, for the communities and habitats reliant on the dam, it also brought with it life.

"That could be due to a range of reasons, local differences that have occurred since those last big floods in the 1970s, or just the challenges of measuring flow at those really big river heights." "It's almost like we don't have any dams at the moment because whatever water falls up in those catchments basically goes down the river." Downstream communities, wetlands and lakes endured prolonged suffering during the last drought. Although the future inflows in the Macquarie's allocations are based on the driest observed inflow levels, the NSW environment department's guide for water allocation states that the design carries a level of risk. Then in the 1990s the effects of a drier climate, combined with increased irrigation, began to hit, culminating in the last drought when the dam almost ran dry. "If we're serious about adapting to climate change, we need to move the environmental water holding further up the priority pyramid and we need to have a look at town water security for growing cities."

"The last drought was a big hint that the infrastructure that's involved in water, from a state point of view, or a government point of view, is lacking and I think we've been slow at a policy level to address that problem. "The impact of climate change is, if you like, a veneer on the top of river regulation. While there's no doubt climate change is playing a part in those trends, Kingsford believes river regulation is having a much bigger impact.

The reason why I love Remotasks is that as a day-to-day lifestyle choice, I can basically choose my working hours. To top it all off, we have flexible working time and I enjoy doing these tasks everyday. The Task page shows a status icon with a description that indicates the current task status.
