This isn't coal. It's highly radioactive. Everything related to highly radioactive waste from handling to transport to storage is an issue.

  when you burn coal, the residual is also quite radioactive, and the amount is not nothing either.

    No, coal ash is not particularly radioactive. The amount of radiation released by burning coal is completely insignificant compared to the toxicity of the ash.

    That's why the alternative isn't coal or other fossil fuels - it is renewables.

  Yes, I wasn't comparing the materials here, just the weight / volume. We have space for it. Even if we split it into pieces, encased then separately and shared it across many sites to limit issue. Patent comment mentioned the weight/yr like it's a lot, but it really isn't.
