What nonsense is this?

Compare gloves that were used once to turn valve on pipe in reactor room to shit from coal in your lungs.

No shit, Sherlock... The reactor room is shielded by the water. Something you had in there once shouldn't be overly radioactive and the fact that it isn't doesn't say anything about the dangers of radioactive waste.

Even most active kind of waste everyone thinks of - spent fuel - consists from about 90% of useful material.

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

Actually not.

Actually yes.

new nuclear power costs about 5 times more than onshore wind power per kWh [...]. Nuclear takes 5 to 17 years longer between planning and operation and produces on average 23 times the emissions per unit electricity generated [...].

It still counts as radioactive waste. It was example of something regular people don't associate radioactive waste with, but still counts as one.

"This waste shouldn't be overly dangerous and the fact that it isn't doesn't say how dangerous it is". Wow. How did you do this?

Did you read what I write?

I will rephrase you:

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the amount of radioactive waste?

Here I thought you're just slow and didn't read what I wrote so I was already preparing to just explain what I said.

This is where I realised you're just trolling.
