This is not true. There are plenty of viable plans. The easiest of which is reprocessing.

Short answer is no. No we don’t. You can simply submerge the cask in water and put the fuel in a new one.

They put an extremely small amount of resources into guarding the spent fuel. The inherent safety comes from engineering safe and secure facilities.

You are overstating this carbon footprint.

Not to pick apart your argument or whatever but most nuclear byproducts will last far less time than humans have been around. Plutonium-239 is 24000 years though.

Just wanted to help people understand.

I’d like to add that we could reprocess the fuel like other first world countries if we were ever able to establish a repository.

Edit - words. 24000 year half-life.

Are you doubting that this is real? I live in this city and know for a fact that it is.
