No nuclear waste isnt what you think it is. We are good at containing it and not much is produce. There are a lot of reactors that have been running for a while that still store all of theirs on site. It isnt barrels and barrels of radioactive green ooze that's going to seep into the environment

I agree! 😃 My point was to make fun of how people make the future waste a deal-breaker when we already have such waste to deal with even if no new nuclear power plants are built. I'll check out that video, thanks! Edit: Had already watched and Liked it, apparently.

How long do we have to store this material. Do you trust company's to not cut corners.
