Eli5: What is so bad about the waste of nuclear power plants? Why are many governments so against it? What is so hard about storing the waste in a safe place?
In: Technology
Think of it this way, large amounts of water are required for cooling. That normally means plant sites are near bodies of water. This increases the chance for radioactive fallout.
On top of that, a lot of sites are built on seismically active faults, which is bad news in the event of an earthquake.
