Many of the newer reactors don’t need the level of radioactive material as compared to the older ones. AFAIK, some newer ones could even run on spent rods. As to the feasibility of storage of old material, assume that Germany literally had no excess land to place it on, what about other countries? You couldn’t imagine a country with excess worthless land willing to lease it? Wouldn’t that be a net positive for Germany, for the poor country, and less emissions globally? Lastly on the failsafes, there are improvements and so called “passive” implementations, but outside of the failed communist state and the tsunami incidents, what critical failures are there? Not talking about 3 mile island etc that were more fear porn than anything.
