@spycrab Sorry, that you feel this way. Not a big fan of nuclear wastelands for instance.

    @ChrisHenrichs if that's referring to Chernobyl : that's ridiculously unlikely to happen ever again. (I can talk about that more of that is the concern) If this is referring to long term spent fuel storage: I don't think anyone recognizes just how little fuel is actually used per unit of electricity. It's really small and not that hard to deal with. Once it's been used and enriched and used and enriched.... And used and can't be enriched you bury it in a, relatively, geologically sound location and problem solved. It just a rock you can't touch, it's not that scary Orphan sources are way more scary. And as far as I know none of those have been generated by nuclear power. You also understand that right now, coal plants are spewing out way more radiation than a nuclear plant ever will, right?
