This is just par for the course. Remember how many close advisors and cabinet members he went through during his first term? Steve Bannon?

And again, the volume of waste hours down if we allow reprocessing. Plus, you are not burying a bunch of material that could still be used in power generation, which is (excuse me) wasteful.

So it is not possible to verify storage options because nobody will guarantee anything for 10k years (nor should they). However, if laws were rewritten to allow for monitoring and upgrading as necessary, this becomes a very different problem.

We DO know how to store it. The problem is that it is written into law (at least in the US) the words "unmonitored and unretrievable." So that means we can't go in and upgrade the store or tinker with it to make it better for 10k years. A shot in the foot.

Take France, for example. They get approximately 70% of their power from nuclear. They reprocess spent fuel into MOX fuel. The amount of spent fuel they store is remarkably small relative to countries like the US.

Water remains an "unsolved problem" to certain nations like the US who have written into law that they would not reprocess fuel. Those who do reprocess have spent fuel that is actually safer.

I think it might help if you define "better." Are you referring to the thermal efficiency? Strictly based off of E=mc2, nuclear has the highest efficiency of mass-energy conversion of existing power solutions while not emitting greenhouse bases.

Exactly this

What about the physics do you find out of whack?

... But I will certainly consider VPNing into a different country if necessary!

So yeah, not everything is ACTUALLY a boundary. Maybe you just need to grow up and accept that sometimes we have to have hard conversations. Ask me how I know. (And I have pictures to prove it.) (15/15)

And YOU were the one who got them to think this way, because you couldn't be adult enough to accept the difficult and uncomfortable discussion created by your lack of responsibility. (14/n)
