I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.

That's the joke, everyone is scared of a hypothetical non-viable fear and they completely ignore the current reality.
Friendly reminder that air pollution from fossil fuels kill ~9 million people per year
The title of this post is sarcasm
Oh yeah, I understood this is a pro nuclear meme. I agree with your meme.
The number of people who told me that they were against nuclear and wanted to shut down nuclear plants yesterday but can't comprehend that they will be replaced by coal fire...... Inspired this meme. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/15/europe/germany-nuclear-phase-out-climate-intl/index.html
That is bullshit. They are not replaced by coal plants. They are replaced by renewables as can be seen by the percentage of renewable energy in the German grid increasing since. https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/2023/german-net-power-generation-in-first-half-of-2023-renewable-energy-share-of-57-percent.html
Stop lying to peddle your agenda against renewables.
Could they have replaced coal with those renewables instead of nuclear?
They both suck. Going renewable is the only way.
There's a strong argument to be made for nuke plants, but there's a solid, high production value video here. It's Kurzgesagt if you know them.
Oh you mean that Gates-funded greenwasher? I think I recognize him from somewhere.
Literal cult shit. No arguments, just "everyone who disagrees with us is [pejorative]"
