Do we have a solution for nuclear waste yet?

Reprocess it, salvage useful isotopes for known uses, keep a few others for research purposes, don't put it too far away because most of it could be useful in the future.

Afaik that is not an economically viable option.

clutches pearls won't someone think of the stock market?

France literally does that. They reprocess 96% all of their used fuel back into usable fuel and useful materials.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 hours ago

Which part? France is basically doing this already.

Ah yes, economically viable like destroying the planet.

Permanent underground storage where it will naturally decay. Are a couple of different methods available from what I understand. And the amount of material that actually needs to be stored is a fraction of what is instead released into the air, water & soil from fossil based fuel. Not to mention toxins like mercury etc.

Eat it! So many calories. You will never have to eat again.

Do we have a problem with nuclear waste yet?

[–] denaggels 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Define problem, because it's less waste than old solar panels per megawatt. Both of which we just throw away in special places designed specifically for that waste.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Define "less". By volume? Mass? Ecological impact? If you want to say "per megawatt" then you obviously have numbers, let's see them.

I asked you about your BS first. Don't question my BS until you put up your BS.

Do we have a solution for atmospheric CO2 release yet?
