"Scares" aside, is this really a good idea? Nuclear waste is an essentially unsolved problem of already epic proportions. Incidents too unlikely to ever happen have happened. Any nuclear material running around on trucks is in danger of being involved in catastrophic accidents or just stolen and used for dirty bombs or worse.
Some of these concerns may be alleviated by the reactor design....
- Turing_Machine 12y ago" Nuclear waste is an essentially unsolved problem of already epic proportions." No, it isn't. After a couple of hundred years it's no more radioactive than the rock from which it came. The people who told you it was going to be lethal for umpteen billion years? They were lying to you.
