minus-square@TurboHarbingerlink9•3 days agoITT: ignorant people with 20+ years old knowledge. Nuclear energy has been safe for a long time. Radioactive waste disposal is better than ever now.
minus-square@Zacryon@lemmy.wtflinkfedilink4•3 days ago Radioactive waste disposal is better than ever now. But is it good enough?
minus-square@prole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink-1•edit-22 days agoBreeder reactors reuse the waste as fuel until there’s a significantly smaller amount of actual waste. I imagine if we actually committed to funding nuclear tech, we’d get even better at disposing of it. Shit, why not send it into space with Elon’s rockets? Only half joking.

minus-square@uis@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•2 days agoAlso you can separate fuel waste from useful part. So even less waste.
