well the worst of nuclear power ist not the possibility of an accident, but the radioactive waste. I guess UK doesn't care much about that since they have a history of just dumping it into the ocean.

- dan-robertson 5y agoThe generally proposed way to deal with the worst nuclear waste (spent fuel) is to put it back into special reactors or to use special reactor designs to convert it to material with a much lower half life (hundreds rather than 10k years) which can then be stored … somewhere … more feasibly until it becomes safe.
