I can see why people have been scared by the waste, but it’s really not a concern. There are long term storage solutions, but they just haven’t been implemented in many places. Kyle Hill actually just did a video on one the other day.
The waste just isn’t a big enough concern to have put the resources into long term storage yet. The radiation level around the casks is so low that you can be around them and hug them without concern. Flying in a plane is more concerning. This argument is mostly fear mongering so we don’t phase out dirty energy. We could have thousands of reactors running, but they’ve made us scared of the solution so we don’t replace them.
I literally included a link to a video that talks about one in my comment. You can’t just make shit up that is already answered in the comment you’re responding to.
Please name just one long term storage for highly radioactive waste. While you will fail at that, a second task: try to imagine a facility, that is able to store something safely for 1 Million years. If you can, you are not trying hard enough.
Dude, scroll up! I literally started all this by giving you a video about one! You’re ignorant ass assuming you’re right, and ignoring what is already provided, doesn’t mean that you’re actually correct.

The earth has already literally been doing this. There’s tons of radioactive material under the ground. In fact, there’s literally a naturally occurring nuclear reactor that is safe underground. Here’s an article that gives some visual representation of all the nuclear waste, and how little volume it takes up. It’s just a matter of logistics to get it underground. In Finland, that’s not too hard, because it’s small. The US had plans for a solution, but it was logistically challenging to transport it all to one site from all over the US. Local storage makes more sense, and there’s plenty of ways to do it. However, the casks are perfectly safe and there’s no rush for a permanent solution for a few centuries probably, at this rate.

Except there aren’t any long term storage solutions for highly radioactive waste.
