Hardly. Most of it decays quite fast. (think tens of years to get below backround radioactivity) While there is some extremely long lived radioactive waste, it is, quite frankly, miniscule in the amount.
- Ekaros 5y agoRadioactive stuff is kinda interesting. Longer it is active less it produces radiation, more it produces faster it breaks down... Ofc, it is not that clear cut as power of radiation differs. It is just that I wouldn't be too worried about properly stabilised long lived waste. Just like I'm not too worried about natural uranium...
