Nuclear energy has been safe for a long time. Radioactive waste disposal is better than ever now.
Radioactive waste disposal is better than ever now.
But is it good enough?
Breeder reactors reuse the waste as fuel until there's a significantly smaller amount of actual waste.
I imagine if we actually committed to funding nuclear tech, we'd get even better at disposing of it.
Shit, why not send it into space with Elon's rockets? Only half joking.
Because we can dump the waste down deeper mine shafts, making it easier for us to pretend it doesn't exist?
Also you can separate fuel waste from useful part. So even less waste.
I don't know to laugh or cry when I see peole quote the thousands of years waste storage of nuclear. That's never been a thing, and never will be.
