Planned Nuclear Reactors Will Destroy Atomic Waste
separsons writes "A group of French scientists are developing a nuclear reactor that burns up actinides — highly radioactive uranium isotopes. They estimate that 'the volume of high-level nuclear waste produced by all of France’s 58 reactors over the past 40 years could fit in one Olympic-size swimming pool.' And they're not the only ones trying to eliminate atomic waste: Researchers at the University of Texas in Austin are working on a fusion-fission reactor. The reactor destroys waste by firing streams of neutrons at it, reducing atomic waste by up to 99 percent!"
Lol, idiots like you always make me laugh when you completely ignore any advances made by solar in the past several years. Also forgetting that part of the problem for large scale is land requirements
I wonder if chucking in a few hippies might help the efficiency of the whole operation.
Well, if you could get the temperature hot enough to vaporise them, you could get high off the smoke...
