Yes, the waste is actually recyclable and will become even more so in the future. Anyone who is against nuclear simply hasn't looked at the facts. If you did and still came out against nuclear I would be pretty surprised and love to hear your arguments.

The fuel is potentially recyclable. The large amount of contaminated material making up a nuclear power plant isn't.

  But that contaminated material is easily stored. You are spreading false information.

    in the usa it is maybe easily to store it. but in germany it is a huge problem. asse II is probably already wrecked and nobody knows for sure if "konrad" can withstand the time.

      It's NOT a huge problem in Germany again false information.

Nuclear reactors are not economically competitive. This is the main problem with nuclear, not waste, safety, proliferation, or mind control by Greenpeace. Reprocessing doesn't reduce the cost of nuclear power, it increases it.
- ThomPete 8y ago
  Yes it is competitive, i would challenge you to find any evidence thst solar and wind can provide energy enough for the worlds needs, otherwise you are just a victim of you own blind ideology.
  - pfdietz 8y ago
    Your self-delusion would be sad if it weren't so hilarious. Anyone with the slightest familiarity with current market conditions and costs would know that nuclear is dead technology walking. Attempts to build new reactors in the US and Europe have failed, and failed spectacularly. They are not even close to economically competitive. Even in China, where costs are opaque, there's now a move away from new reactors. Deluded fools such as yourself confabulate conspiracy theories to explain away this reality -- Greenpeace is a common supervillain invoked here -- but that's flat-earth level nonsense.
    - ThomPete 8y ago
      The only flat earth nonsense here is people believing that solar or wind is actually realistically a solution to the worlds energy needs.

        It works in certain places. Here in Iowa we get a third of our electricity from wind.
        ThomPete 8y ago
        And in denmark they get more but its not reliable which means you have to support it with other more reliable sources such as coal. Which happens all the time. Plus you use it for almost zero percent of your transportation.
        JoeAltmaier 8y ago
        Ours is pretty reliable, out here in the 'plains states'. It's blowing pretty much every day, most of the day. And our 'support' source is nuclear, curiously.
