> Also, newer reactor designs are much safer and last longer so a lot of the concerns of radioactive waste have largely been alleviated. ...in countries that are large enough to make it "disappear". Meanwhile normal sized countries are still struggling with old waste and new waste. See Germany. Meanwhile reprocessing as it exists is economically pointless, while it reduces the amounts of highly radioactive material enlarges the amounts of mid and low radioactive material and doesn't help with the stuff that has been insufficiently stored already. Also Sellafield and La Hague are probably polluting water. Hooray...
