Just to make sure I am following your understanding that is based solely on politics: Because your government said reprocessing was not allowed, there is now an excess of nuclear material. Ergo, reprocessing is a bad technology Thank you for illustrating my point. The tech is sound. Getting past the fearmongers and actually using it is the problem. We have had some ridiculously safe reactors for decades, we just aren't allowed to build or use them anywhere. We have ways to deal with waste, but we aren't allowed to do it... and then get yelled at for having excess waste. Seriously. Put your prejudices and patriotism at the door and actually do some research on the subject. Yes, a lot of this hasn't been tested at scale (in large part because politicians and Activists won't let anyone) but they have been researched VERY heavily, tested at varying scales, and are a more viable alternative than anything else right now. But because there is a "nuclear" in the name, it is inherently evil and wrong.

No, they didn't say it's not allowed. There are environmental laws here. Real ones, that prevent something like a reprocessing plant because those things do still leak radioactive waste into the environment. Especially through water. And I'm pretty sure you know that since you've read so much about it. > We have had some ridiculously safe reactors for decades, we just aren't allowed to build or use them anywhere. Why should you? The same thing has been said about those xx years old ones who threaten our lives east and west of Germany while we have so much green energy that we have to sell it. > We have ways to deal with waste, but we aren't allowed to do it... Yeah but those ways suck. They are bad for the environment and they cost a hell lot of money those who ran the plants don't want to pay for: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/kosten-atommuell-101.html https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/kosten-atommuell-101.html > Seriously. Put your prejudices and patriotism at the door and actually do some research on the subject. I got the fallout of Tszarnobyl in east Poland as a child and Fukushima on a trip in Tokyo. Spare your idiotic propaganda about how safe this last century technology is supposed to be. It's dead and the sooner the nations who still base their electricity output on it recognize this, the better for the whole humankind.

  Ah. My apologies Because your government said reprocessing was not allowed because they base their decisions on decades old technology and ignore any advances, there is now an excess of nuclear material. Ergo, reprocessing is a bad technology Aside from that: If anyone who can avoid calling people "idiotic" and cares to read (I addressed the Chernobyl and Fukishima issues) wishes to continue discussion, feel free. I would love to. But I don't really see a point with this person though.

    No, that's not what I said. A new reprocessing plant would still be against environmental laws. That's why they can't build one and your whitewashing this won't help at all. You've adressed Fukushima and Czarnobyl? Are you kidding me? You swiped that away saying one was a human error like this would never happen again and the other could be solved by some technology that didn't even come up with a prototype somewhere in the past and the development on it stopped 2015. It's in the link you've posted! And you wonder why word like "idiotic" come up...besides the fact that you've started the insulting first of course.
