Decommissioning is the process of removing a commercial nuclear power plant from service so that the land may be used for something else. Decommissioning is a complex process that can take up to 60 years.

The boys drew kitchen cleanup duty tonight. Thankfully, nobody complained.
Look how wonderfully they work together. It warms a mother's heart!

FWIW: Toby is still crated if we're gone for any length of time during the day, and gets a frozen yogurt (here, vanilla) KONG when he goes in.
That's normal people yogurt slathered over a puppy cylindrical KONG with ridges to hold the yogurt until it freezes.
Toby loves his KONGs and darts into his crate when a KONG comes out.
Henry used to get exactly the same thing until he outgrew the need for a crate - a rather sad day as he loves yogurt.
So after slathering the KONGs I slathering the silicon mat I use to catch the drips and let the boys enjoy.
Henry uses practiced licks - long and slow, but covering much territory. Toby covers his half of the mat with quick little licks.
Clearly, Henry has the superior technique.
I typically stretch my arm between them to keep cheating to a minimum. I guess they are so used to it at this point that they didn't even try today, when I was too busy the camera to play dividing line.

Ok so decomposition related clean-ups generally aren’t as extensive as in those related to violent deaths, but anyone who’s ever come across animal carcass in the woods or on the highway knows that a decomposing body can actually be more gruesome than a suicide. A body that’s been decomposing for days, weeks or even months has gone through some changes. You see, decomposition swells the body attracts insects, causes organs to digest themselves and actually liquefies skin. It is, to say the least, not pretty freakin’ sight, but most folks in my business will tell you that seeing decomposing remains doesn’t compare to smelling them [an unfortunate side effect of the ammonia gas released during decomposition]. Yeah, your local coroner will remove the body, but they always leave behind liquefied body matter, noxious odors, and maggots bloated by blood. That’s where companies like mine come in.
If you need CTS clean-up guidance or advice, or require the clean-up services visit us anytime at: www.AdvancedBio-Treatment.com, call us at: 1-800-860-4268 or send an e-mail to: info@advancedbio-treatment.com.

This past weekend myself and three friends participated in the International Coastal Cleanup. We chose to cleanup at Sand Point near Lake Ozette, which has become my go-to destination for cleanup events over the past few years.
The trail to Sand Point is in amazing shape - better than I've ever seen it. Our hot and dry summer has reduced water sources around Sand Point to stagnant pools of tea-colored water. This lack of water was certainly a surprise, I've never not seen the creeks flowing out at the coast.
While there appeared to be a decrease in debris north of Sand Point, hiking a mile or two south of Sand Point produced the expected amounts of plastics, Styrofoam, rope and more. Cleanup efforts are important, but so to are our day-to-day actions. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Avoid single-use plastics. Educate yourself and others. Get involved.
After I cleaned up the floor and took out a few boxes worth of stuff, the desk is looking better. Still need to figure out a better arrangement of all the equipment so my desk is not as cluttered as before.
When one of our chickens die, we normally just toss the body out into the field, and within a day the local scavengers have taken care of it, leaving only a few feathers. Usually it is the ravens or sometimes turkey vultures. Today however, we had a big bald eagle on the clean up crew.
More than 200 executives from Newell Rubbermaid came to Lake Mead National Recreation Area Feb. 11 to help beautify the park’s Alan Bible Visitor Center and Song Dog Native Plant Nursery. The corporation is in town for an annual meeting, and although they’re surrounded by the luxuries of Las Vegas, the CEO Michael Polk chose to start the conference with a day of community service. The execs raked, shoveled, picked weeds and helped to setup the newly renovated visitor center bookstore that is scheduled to reopen in February.
What happened was, we were exhibitors at this conference. There was a wine social. Someone dropped and broke a glass right next to our table. The workers who came out to clean up picked up some of the schwag off of our table and used it as a dustpan for sweeping up the broken glass.
The Bureau of Land Management, Sierra Front Field Office recently contracted with a company to clean a large (approximately two acre) illegal dump site located east of Silver Springs, Nevada. This site, which had the appearance of a small landfill became a popular spot for illegal dumping of trash. Full remediation and restoration of the site required a contractor with heavy equipment to remove larger trash items and mitigate potential hazardous materials on site. The cost of cleaning this dumpsite was approximately $66,000.
"Every year the BLM Carson City District Office receives hundreds of complaints from concerned public reporting trash sites on public lands," said Logan Briscoe, Supervisory Law Enforcement Officer. “When individuals cannot be held responsible for their illegal acts, the expense of cleaning up a site such as this one is often funded through the use of tax payer’s money. The BLM truly appreciates the dedication and devotion of community groups and individual volunteers who spend countless hours of their free time cleaning up public lands so others can experience use of their public lands free from unsightly trash."
Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal of over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash.
