Safely storing nuclear waste is from powerplants is obviously a huge problem, which is currenty unsolved.
It's nearly impossible to safely store radioactive waste for thousands of years.
So why don't we just sacrifice some shithole country and dump all the waste there and let it become a nuclear wasteland?
Which useless country should we choose?

eventually that shithole wll fill up,radioactive waste might leak into underwater cave system which might influence our land
Why don't you keep dumping it in Australia?
Look up LFTR,much less waste than classical light/heavy water reactors and much more efficient
Piss off, faggot.
We do, it's called Africa. But you won't hear that on the news.
It was a question not a suggestion.
we could use one just for waste disposal. renders the waste dangerous for only a couple hundred years, which is far more manageable.
a canadian man figured out what to do with it but the government wasn't interested back in the 90's
Rocket it to the sun
better to stop using lwr and use only lftr
we're already doing this. it gets sent to tanzania and somalia. im seriously not making this up
Plus that country filling up with radioactive shit might affect our environment, birds carrying radioactive shit etc
Pay denbts
america already has shithole areas, lets not forget the hanford site which is the Chernobyl of america
Kosovo or Moldova for Europe.
French Guiana for the Americas
Djibouti for Africa
East Timor for Asia and Oceania
your country has more debt than mine,56%
Galen Winsor exposed the "radioactive waste" meme many years ago. How much is the "waste" worth and who has it all?
Modern nuclear plants can recycle nuclear waste.
source faggot,how do lwr do that
There are plenty of more than adequate solutions. They just tend to get killed by politics and NIMBYism. Yucca Mountain was as safe and stable a repository as any.
There's no such a thing as radioactive "waste". Hot isotopes are always valuable.
>muh radioactive waste that lasts thousands of years
the longer the waste lasts the weaker it is
the scary radioactive stuff is the stuff that has a half life of hours or days because it releases a fuckton of radiation quickly
muh "waste that remains radioactive for thousands/millions of years" is the least of anybody's concerns. if the stupid cuck fucking democrats hadn't killed Yucca Mountain we wouldn't be having this discussion.
unless you stick that waste up your ass it's nothing to worry about
Serious question
>why don't we just shoot it into space? Put it on a falcon and have the storage bay shoot off towards the sun, or the moon? Then the rocket comes back.
>german
it's no problem at all, actually. We put it in a giant cave and let it sit there.

He said modern plants, not currently built ones.
what type of radiation,how much of a substance. You can have an alpha emitter with a short half life and a small amount of it and it wont harm anyone
Shooting into space is too expensive and dangerous, just imagine a rocket blowing up midflight and scattering radioactive material everywhere.
The entire waste ever produced by every reactor would fit in a 100m^3.
Space isn't the issue.
Shit that lasts long affects more generations of a species that's why its more dangerous
