Yeah thats my biggest problem with people promoting nuclear as the end of all problems. The nuclear technology today is not good enough to be able to meet the world needs because of the nuclear waste it produces if they are able to get the tech to where the life of nuclear waste left over is less than 100 years than I think it becomes viable.
Now that the prices of solar, wind and batteries have dropped so much the need for nuclear is becoming less and less. Most of the world's population currently lives in the perfect area where charging batteries in the day and using at night can meet all the demand for electricity with solar, wind and batteries alone in summer or winter.
- troupo 2y ago> because of the nuclear waste it produces It produces very little long term nuclear waste whose overall impact is invisible compared to impact of other industries and landfills
- Moldoteck 2y agoWe have the tech to make real waste dangerous for less than 300 years. With this tech about 90+% of existing waste can be reprocessed and reused multiple times. It's not a problem of tech, it's a problem of political will and somewhat of economical feasibility when buying refined uranium isn't that expensive
