Yea nuclear waste isn't actually a problem, even barring newer reactor designs that re-use nuclear fuel. I was surprised when I learned this since it's always coached as the biggest issue with nuclear as a power source. It's solid waste (not radioactive sludge like in many movies/shows), and requires very simple storage containers, which you can just keep on site or bury, no problem. > In fact, the U.S. has produced roughly 83,000 metrics tons of used fuel since the 1950s—and all of it could fit on a single football field at a depth of less than 10 yards.
