What’s the waste disposal story nowadays?
- himinlomax 2y agoWaste always was an overblown problem. The amount generated is small, particularly compared to the amount of energy generated.
- piyuv 2y agoWhen do you see waste being a problem? 100, 1000, 10000 years? If you see that waste becomes a problem before the sun explodes, then it is not an overblown problem.
- avery17 2y agoNever? It's already a solved problem.
- zamadatix 2y agoMy Halloween pumpkin is also going to decay before the sun explodes but that is neither here no there to whether the problem of dealing with its waste is overblown.
- himinlomax 2y agoYou just dig a hole in the ground in a suitable location (e.g. one that hasn't budged in a million year), fill up the hole and that's it. Not exactly rocket surgery.
- Jemm 2y agoVery lucrative business with millions spent on research, outreach, politics.... and then finally ultimately sticks spent fuel into barrels and stores them somewhere for future generations.
- avery17 2y agoDry cask storage is very safe and effective.
