- jccooper 11y agoWaiting for the hottest stuff to go away is part of the recycling process. It's just a very slow part.
- gjem97 11y agoThe funny thing about nuclear waste is that it's not the "hottest stuff" you have to worry about. The hottest stuff has a very short half life and disappears relatively quickly. On the other side things like Carbon 14 that have a multiple millennium half life are not radioactive enough to cause much of a problem. It's the stuff that has a half life of about 10 to 1000 years that you have to worry about.
