We know what to do with the waste: burn it up in nuclear reactors. Much of what's called "waste" is really just partially-processed fuel, and the only two reasons it isn't viewed that way are, first, proliferation fear and, second, it was convenient for all the major groups involved to spread FUD about the terrible dangers of nuclear waste.
- dantheman 17y agoAgreed, France has an excellent nuclear power program.

- bitwize 17y agoThe Somali pirates, who for some reason love to pillage French vessels, evolved out of fishermen, in the vacuum left by the absent government and coast guard, patrolling the shores where they fished for ships from Western (mainly European) countries dumping toxic and nuclear waste into the waters and killing the fish. So any time I hear about how the French have their act together nuclear-wise, I have to wonder where that waste goes, and if some of it ends up off the coast of Somalia.
