Nice cherry picking.
And what about Finland? They are building currently a new reactor. It is a Type 3 with an improved fuel technology, but still far away of one of those green, magic, waste free types which are supposed to solve the waste problems.
What is the reason the Finns do not build one of those supa dupa waste free reactors? Have they been forced by some environmentalists to ignore the wonderful new technology. Or do they plan to throw the waste, aeh sorry "fuel", into the baltic sea as this is cheaper?
- yongjik 11y agoSigh. "We can develop the technology" does not equal "There is an available commercial prototype". Creating a new kind of commercial reactor requires $$$ and time, and good luck developing one (which can probably double as nuclear weapon factory) in the current political climate. Anyway, nuclear waste can stay, safely, in underground facilities for a very long time, so it's not like anybody's in a hurry to use them before they rot away or something.
- tobltobs 11y agoPlease give me an example for one of those safe underground facilities which do not cost millions to maintain them safely. Are you talking about salt domes?
