Sure, right after you get back to to inform us about the approved and operating permanent nuclear waste storage facility in the US with all the waste waiting in temporary holding facilities having been placed there.
- Manuel_D 4y agoWe already have it. Yucca mountain was built and could receive waste, but Congress blocked it legislatively.
- moloch-hai 4y agoYucca mountain is, in fact, not an "approved and operating permanent nuclear waste storage facility in the US with all the waste waiting in temporary holding facilities having been placed there". It is not even "approved and operating".
- Manuel_D 4y agoIt's ready to receive waste, it's just political grandstanding withholding approval. It would also be a waste to seal up non-reprocessed fuel since it's a future source of fissile material. Regardless, nuclear waste is a non-issue entirely. We disposable of chemicals far more toxic that never decay all the time, but people get their arms worked up over the word "nuclear".
