It is known that nuclear plants need large amounts of cooling. The polar regions may offer this at an increase of polar ice melting. How could this idea even gain traction. Then, there is the history of Russian sea dumping of nuclear waste; More difficult to monitor in polar seas. Have they ever been called to task, or is it a matter of shared guilt. Another idea of world economic competition favored over having any earth remaining to compete for. Odds are the estemed media, which is also an economic profit venture, will fail to follow or investigate this catastrophy in ther making. This seems like a very disasterous venture.
