    1. Batman’s right. It’s not ‘waste,’ it’s just spicy dirt that requires 10,000 years of babysitting. Think of it as a generational family heirloom that glows in the dark.

    2. What’s the most impressive ‘shortcut’ you’ve ever seen an inventor take that actually worked, or are we just one Batman slap away from solving the energy crisis forever?

    3. Yeah like if it was better to cover the entire planet surface with wind turbines or burn fossil fuels. Nuclear energy doesn’t burn fuel which doesn’t create emissions, uranium is very energy dense and we can reuse some waste and the others are kept stored and organized safely. It’s like the ultimate power source till we don’t get to fusion.

      Sad truth is that the usa is to scared to set up mass recycling plants for it because in the proccess it makes weapons grade plutonium.

    5. Depleted uranium is used in armor-piercing ammunition by the United States military. What could possibly go wrong with that?

    6. Waste is not only the fuel but everything that comes with feul contact, parts, protective gear, containers etc, yeah the solution is simple when you dont know a thing about the problem.

    7. Okay, but why is this sub turning into a nuclear advertisement out of the sudden? Not even funny memes, but sure go ahead I guess.

    8. There are other types of waste, like contaminated materials and so on. It’s just honestly not a problem
