We can put nuclear waste into a thorium salt reactor. The initial costs and contruction times of reactors is the big hindrance but in terms of paying for itself, it always does. And it has the least amount of deaths per killiwatt hour of any energy source.

Yes, I have seen the idea and think it's one of the ways we can mitigate nuclear waste and is why I'd rather side with nuclear at this point. Nuclear is cleaner than people realize amd through innovation will become cleaner still. It should be the horse we ride
