    • We have ways of storing waste safely, which are the same ways the planet has stored radioactive material for millennia.
    • There are experimental fission reactors that can consume this waste, as well as possible fusion reactors in the near future, so storage may become moot.
    • Coal ash disperses a crapton of radioactive material into the air, which is way worse than lodging it deep underground, encased on concrete.

      • underground storage is starting. And some of them already failed.
      • gen4 are experimental since several decades. None of them are commercial
      • last low radiation studies should worried anybody working in any nuclear plant.
