> What are we currently doing with the waste from the hundreds of currently operational reactors?
They are put into temporary storage (viable for 10-50 years), that's not long term storage.
> I'm assuming you mean price per kWh, compared with wind/solar and the necessary storage? What is the current price of renewables plus storage?
You cannot operate a grid on nuclear only so why include storage for renewables?
Edit: supplied time frame for temporary storage
- pigeonhole123 4y agoBecause wind and solar are much more unreliable than nuclear so it needs storage to smooth out the demand.
