All of the downsides of Nuclear energy and none of the upsides! We’re winners here
Honestly I’m fine with this. We have so many old mines in a completely tectonically stable environment away from the water table as well as a few remote locations to serve as ports. They just better pay us
A good thing you scrap the French deal my dear aussies
It’s important to note that nuclear doesn’t have much waste. All of the United States nuclear waste could be placed on a football field and only be 10ft high
@Dippy @sillinesslemon 10ft is more like 3 metres.
A football field is 300ft x 160ft. So using your estimate, that’s 480,000 cubic feet, or 13,592 cubic metres of radioactive waste
Dave Sweeny should be made to work in a coal plant or mine for the rest of his life
