So you came up with a solution for the waste now? I must have missed that. Please explain.

Do you prefer spreading the pollution over the vast area around the thermal power plants? Because that's the current alternative in most of the countries. Nuclear waste is treated securely enough for now in Europe, and future may bring us scientific development to resolve this problem in future.

  You make it look like coal is the only alternative. Where is this coming from? Trump campaign train? > Nuclear waste is treated securely enough for now in Europe, and future may bring us scientific development to resolve this problem in future. No it's not. We have quite big problems with storage in Germany[1]. Other waste is stored next to the nuclear facilities who created it or on the road to and from La Hague where radioactivity is leaking into water and air[2,3].

Unfortunately nobody told that to the birds who were drinking contaminated water from open SFPs.

Breeder reactors use today's waste as fuel, burning up 90% or more and leaving behind short lived isotopes.

  So they will get rid of all the waste that is currently lying in rusty containers all over the world? Or do we have enough to clean all of the waste that is being generated? Please provide sources since I know some countries who are struggling to find a hole deep enough to make it disappear.

    We don't build them for political reasons, otherwise we wouldn't have to store waste in rusty barrels.

      I don't understand how this is an answer to what I've wrote. Please provide those sources also. Thank you.

        You could try reading the Wikipedia article before asking for sources for everything. This is an internet forum not a scientific journal.

        So you can't. OK. E: how is the wikipedia artikel solving the problems we already have and which resulted from the current nuclear waste storage?! I've asked that above. This whole thread results from a quasi "roses and butterflies" comment.

        Look man, 90% of what I know about nuclear waste I learned from the Wikipedia. Why don't you try it yourself? My sources are Wikipedia articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Transmutation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste#Transmutatio... You are free to continue believing that nuclear power is too dangerous afterwards, it's certainly not all roses and butterflies. Right now your comments sound extremely confrontational and rude, at least on my end of the pipe.
