    Ah. Even so, that’s less than the trash output of 1000 citizens. The quantity of waste is not very worrisome to me at all, especially considering all the other possible hazardous wastes from other industrial processes.

      It’s just one country (BTW: one that spent much money looking for a final storage for decades and has not yet found it).

      And to be honest: I’d feel better living in a country without the 11k tons of it and don’t agree with that that’s just nothing.

      You say, it’s not much, I say, it’s too much. Yes, you can compare it with 11k tons of trash or 11k tons of poop or salt or feathers to make it look less dangerous, but it’s still 11k tons of highly radioactive waste.

        Right. Across eighty years. Our current methods are genuinely good, and can more than meet demand current and future.

        Reprocessing is a more than viable solution, if you feel that demand can’t be met.
