But you are always left with a waste product that is simply not going to be anything but a health hazard. So you cut down the nuclear waste with a 500,000 half-life to only having a 250,000 year half life. Congratulations.
How about finding a solution before making more problems.
- DennisP 11y agoEh no. It cuts the total volume of waste per gigawatt-hour by a factor of 100, and the half-life down to decades. That's why it only takes about three centuries before it's no more radioactive than the uranium ore that was there in the ground before we dug it up. What's more, these reactors could eliminate the long-term waste we have already.
