or instead of burying the majority of it, burn it in different reactor technologies?
90% of what we are burying could be re-burned in different technology reactors. Note I didn’t say new, because the tech isn’t new. It just wasn’t prioritized because the current reactors byproducts could be used for weapons too.
And the stuff that is left over from these other reactors isn’t nearly as nasty or as long lived either, so no need for ridiculously over-engineered holes in the desert either.
The anti-nuke hysteria of the last 40 years has prevented having even remotely rational discussions about the true clean energy source out there.
