(38,519 posts)I don't have time at this point to discuss it here, but I would note, that used nuclear fuel has remarkable record of storage without killing anyone.
I wish people were as concerned with fossil fuel waste, aka, "air pollution" which kills millions of people each year without a peep from people concerned with so called "nuclear waste."
Used nuclear fuel is a valuable resource for which I hope future generations will have the wisdom to use. That recognition is rising.
My journal on this website features discussions of many of the components of used nuclear fuels, most referenced to the primary scientific literature.
Without the recognition that nuclear energy, developed by some of the finest minds of the 20th century, and denigrated by some of the smallest minds, is the only form of sustainable energy, not merely one with a "role to play" there is, in my view, little hope for the future of our planet.
