Figure out how to deal with nuclear waste and maybe.

[–] Emi@ani.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I thought it's already figured out, recycle it like in France.

There is no recycling of nuclear waste. Nowhere.

Reprocessing reduces waste but it does not eliminate it. Its like saying that curb side plastics recycling has solved the microplastics issue

No. I’m a huge fan of the nuclear fusion reactor in the sky.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee -5 points 2 weeks ago

Not figured out here in the states. They just turn the site into a nuke waste dump.

Amazon prime uranium deliveries.

*Not available in Iran

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won't impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

If we're still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.
