npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I'd say the »nuclear waste« problem is another scare story, because:
- It is not much at all. The total amount of spent nuclear fuel ever generated by humans fits a cube of 35 m sides. Or »tens of thousands of metric tons« if you want to scare people. This is much less than the amount of coal replaced by the contents of a single spent fuel cask.
- It is dangerous, but not exceptionally so.
- Deep underground final repositories, such as in Finland, are known to work.
