Require a detailed 'Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer' plan for the 100-year 'Decommissioning and Closure' phase (2093-2192).
Strategic Rationale
"The schedule outlines a century-long period of 'Extended Monitoring' and closure. Melgund Township requires assurance that site knowledge, safety protocols, and community engagement funding will not erode over this extended timeframe. Without a binding mechanism to maintain 'social memory' and oversight capacity across multiple generations, the community faces the risk of becoming a passive host to a forgotten hazard. Establishing this framework early ensures that future residents of the unorganized territory retain agency and resources to monitor the site effectively throughout the 22nd century."
