To what end? To spend literally decades, perhaps centuries, with nuclear waste floating around the solar system? Why not just leave it in deep space to start with? Why bother sending it into space in the first place?
Meanwhile, if you succeed in sending nuclear waste into the Sun what do you think happens to it? It doesn't go away, it just gets vaporized and then scattered into the solar wind.
- tvon 12y agoI think leni536 is just addressing the kind of interesting problem of what it takes to shoot anything into the Sun.
- Cerium 12y agoSolar energy is simply a nuclear power system with a sensible waste disposal strategy.
- elcct 12y agoBut it also has not been approved by any authority. It is just like sending waste to some shady dude few blocks away "to take care of it"
- DonHopkins 12y agoThe sun isn't the shadiest dude in the solar system.
