In conjunction with rock bolting, grout screens can be injected at high pressure. Some ground conditions can be quite dry if the site is capped by an impervious stratum such as shale. And if plants are built in hilly areas, they could be located in valley sides so that drainage is by gravity. There are other possible routes too, beyond the scope of this comment box and comment!Bry Lynashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531506316020054385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-89331752410583159312007-10-15T10:06:00.000+01:002007-10-15T10:06:00.000+01:00I can't understand the argument for decommissionin...I can't understand the argument for decommissioning nuclear power plants.<BR/>There has never been a greater need for nuclear power, and we've never understood it so well either.<BR/><BR/>A great advantage of <B>recommissioning</B> nuclear power stations is that building consent should be very much more easily obtained than building one from scratch.<BR/><BR/>While I think the idea of building below ground is excellent, as I understand it, much of Britain has a water table not far below the surface which will surely limit its implementation.<BR/><BR/>CheersUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615824128106982951noreply@blogger.com
