What now? The death toll from the Fukushima Daiichi failure is: up to 1.
> We still don't have a long-term storage solution for the nuclear waste produced by the power plants
Yes, we do. Put it in the side of a mountain. Nuclear waste has always been a political problem, not a technical one. The US already has a site picked, Yucca Mountain, and only NIMBYism has gotten in the way.
- adrianN 7y agoDon't forget the people who died because of the evacuation.
- lispm 7y ago> Nuclear waste has always been a political problem, Actually all energy production has/creates 'political problems'. One has to deal with those, too. Otherwise claimed technical solutions will fail in the real world. > not a technical one. I don't believe that for a second. This is the overly optimistic view of technocrats or the industry.
