We’ve lost track of nuclear waste in the US. Not far from Pittsburgh they have a cleanup site where waste was once dumped. Funny thing about paper records is they deteriorate a lot faster than nuclear waste. They started the cleanup and realized there was a whole lot more than what was originally expected.
That’s the interesting thing about nuclear waste. It’s kind of easy to dispose of, you just put it somewhere safe and leave it the fuck alone until it’s not nuclear waste any more. The tricky part is the fact is the wait is a few thousand years and you need to find a way to pass the “leave this the fuck alone” message along to the descendents.
And also make sure nature leaves it the fuck alone. That one is also pretty tricky.
I think the only answer that matters is “enough”.
Am I the only one more concerned about the biggest nuclear plant in Europe being 30km from the Ukrainian front line?
It’s like that famous headline: “The Invasion Is Ukrain’s Chernobyl”
I suppose the calculation would be that if a reactor accident happened, it would force the US to drop in troops on a humanitarian mission. No one really wants that to happen.
I only have three myself.
You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.
Technically I only have one. Two are in the shop.
