Why can’t we dump nuclear waste in the same place we mine nuclear fuel?
In: 691
There are relatively reasonable methods to dispose of nuclear wastes, in fact quite a few of them. None of them really very new either.
The problem is not technology, it is political.
If someone takes a decidedly anti-nuclear position, they aren’t particularly interested in seeing practical solutions weakening their arguments. So it becomes an eternal round of demonstrating methods, only to be met with conspiracy theories and accusations of lies and demands of perfection beyond feasibility. And this is a tough battle that few governments were interested in confronting – so it simply becomes gridlock and eternal arguments.
