I dug a little deeper for those interested. In Germany there are currently reactor being demolished. None is done, so the numbers are still estimates. For a 1.3MW reactor block the amount of highly contaminated material will probably be in the range of 3000 to 5000 metric tons. For the US with around 96 active reactors (2020) this would imply something (back of a napkin calculation) 280,000 to 470,000 metric tons of additional waste on top of burned nuclear fuel. Depending on the peculiarities of the reactors and so on. I know there are error margins. Highly contaminated material that needs to be secured for thousands of years. This is a multi generational cost factor for our generations convenience. For the ability to burn electricity like there is no tomorrow. Today the lower half (poorer half) of US population is living a live that would enable the US to reach Paris Climate goals. The same applies roughly to most western/northern countries. People like me in the upper income half are the culprits so to speak (statistically speaking).
