Do we have a solution for nuclear waste yet?

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 38 points 3 weeks ago

Reprocess it, salvage useful isotopes for known uses, keep a few others for research purposes, don't put it too far away because most of it could be useful in the future.

[-] denaggels@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Afaik that is not an economically viable option.

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

France literally does that. They reprocess 96% all of their used fuel back into usable fuel and useful materials.

[-] gnygnygny@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

The number is false. You make a confusion between what could be recycled and what is actually recycled. And MOX is not a good option (expensive, 1 cycle, toxicity).

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

Which part? France is basically doing this already.

  • Economically it's not interesting
  • It's one cycle only
  • Waste in output is even worst and more toxic

Ah yes, economically viable like destroying the planet.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

If destroying the planet weren't economically viable, no one would do it.

This has been your daily depressing fact.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

My point exactly.
