wonder if it’s a magazine release setup so they can be dropped individually

THE WORLD IS NOT FINLAND.
Unless you’re volunteering to take the world’s radioactive waste, stop thinking the world is finland, jfc you’re worse than an american
And yeah, storage pools WORLDWIDE are being used as defacto permanent storage. That’s what you call it when you have no plan to move the shit.
gonna block you now, you’re either too dense to realize there’s a whole world outside your tiny country, or deliberately obtuse.
The ammount of radioactive waste is tiny relative to normal dumps, and as described before, it is easy to deal with, dig a deep hole, put the waste in it, refill it.
Boom problem solved.
I wish it were that simple. Meanwhile, in reality:

from the hill article:
So Biden never explicitly made a one-term promise during the campaign
ok. Look I’m not trying to pick a fight, I just never heard biden say that and wondered what I’d missed. The Hill article goes on to state:
but he certainly implied it with the language of “transition.”
yeeaah, uh, I’m going to vote for him because < HAHA FUCKING HELLSCAPE PROJECT 2025 > either way

nothing, not a single thing you’ve argued, will in any way reduce the radioactive leftovers nuclear reactors produce and most of the world is putting off for the next generation to fix.
Like climate change.
How many crises do you think those poor kids are going to be able to manage at once?
Trumps replies seldom had any connection to the thread/question posed by moderator. he was simply waiting for his turn to ramble a gish gallop out.
Why doesn’t anyone call him out on lying about running for a second term?
never saw this. citation requested thanks
yeah, I get it, you’re whole hog on it, the enthusiasm comes through loud and clear.
I don’t agree, but there’s no amount of sense that’s going to sway the already decided.

there’s literally centuries for us to figure out a way to make those waste useful for us.
yes, I’m sure we’ll hop on fixing this enormous issue with all the same urgency we’ve treated it with so far…
yep, they’re awesome, and may sidestep some of the HUGE investments in gigantic infrastructure - one day. What you conveniently leave out is no one is doing this yet at scale; china’s got one test reactor going last time I looked.
I personally love the idea, but the nuclear industry here in the US is obsessed with large steam turbine setups in the multiple megawatt scale; even small modular reactors are getting side eyes.
So yeah, it exists, but it’s not going to displace the current tech (which is really 60’s tech with better electronics).
why bother investing enormous amounts of money into a tech that’s already problematic? when there are better solutions at hand?
I’m not anti-nuclear, I just think further investment into it is misguided when there are so many other options that don’t create tens of thousands of years of radioisotopes that have to go somewhere.
good on Scandinavia, the rest of the world isn’t in such privileged positions. As seen in Fukushima. As seen in the hundreds of cooling ponds all over the US.

lolol
This argument would make sense if the aircraft, when they crashed, left radioactive debris with hundreds of years of threat.
Thank fuck we don’t let the nuclear industry make aircraft.
Otherwise your premise disregards the long life of the threat involved.
Nuclear waste is a solved problem
maybe solved where you live, and only for as long as your containment facility stays in one piece.
earthquakes, meteors, tidal waves - these things do happen, sure, not often on a lifetime scale, but compared to the long half-lives of this stuff? plenty of time for the worst case scenario.
I think you pretend the problem is simpler than it actually is, when considered the time frames involved. It’s not your lifetime we’re talking, it’s the hundreds of generations where this shit remains hot.
AND I’d add your country is at least trying, in the US we’ve given up and store it in pools local to the reactors, it’s ignorant as fuck
Funny how you have zero shits to give. Privileged life huh?
we tried to, then the state we were gonna stick it all in said "eh maybe we don’t want to the country’s home for spent fuel, considering how it will stay hot for tens of thousands of years.
so our solution was to just… ignore it. store it in cooling pools at every plant spread all over the country. because hundreds of different waste holding ponds are SURE to be better than the thing we were planning lol.
their game division has been a fantastic machine for burning loads and loads of money while producing a whole lotta jack shit.
