Why can't we just use the waste to heat homes? Is there a magic ratio of isolation that allows enough heat but not enough radiation to use at home?

- gnode 7y agoThis doesn't solve any part of the waste management problem; it only frustrates safety for a small benefit. High-level nuclear waste generates heat, but is not kept hot; it's stored in cool pools. Allowing it to reach a high temperature and using it for district heating is not sensible.
