> Every ounce of nuclear waste is entirely contained, every other power source's waste is dumped into the environment. That's a little disingenuous, though, isn't it? It's only contained because no one will allow it to be dumped ("stored") near them. Actually, the fact that we have to take special precautions with nuclear waste due to its toxicity is a disadvantage of nuclear power vs. fossil fuels (for example). Obviously, there is a much different calculus when thinking about Mars though.
