    Careful. You are waking all the people telling you that it isn’t much waste that those power plants produce and its so easy to store it long term.

    The same people that likely would oppose a storage like that in their own neighbourhood. I feel often people from outside Germany forget how densely populated it is, it is very hard to find area not somehow close to anyone.

    And I would also never trust the promise that this storage next to my home is very definitely going to be so so safe an great.

      I will happily sell the land under my house to let you store sealed vessels of nuclear material. There permanently. I can do that with 100% confidence because I understand the science involved in the matters. If it’s buried deep enough in a proper container, there is no risk.

        Good for you. Once you actually do that, report back how its going. Its easy to post a statement like that in an anonymous online forum.

            Mind your language. I can likewise say you only responded to “gotcha” me yourself.

            That said, in this case I definitely feel a “put your money where your mouth is” is very much warranted. Because I have not heard of anyone anywhere doing exactly what you are offering. But I knew posting my opinion on this is going to end me up talking about this topic, so that’s all I got to say to you.

            Good luck getting your personal radioactive waste storage, would earn you a pretty penny. Best of luck to you!

      Those people compare the waste from nuclear and the storage compared to the waste of coal and that storage (which is in the local area and global atmosphere).

      Compare the waste amount per GWh produced how the waste is stored and you will see why some thinks nuclear is better than coal
