Well they certainly don't need to worry about it anymore, they have other means of energy production!

What? Why? Renewables weren't ready and the countries that were, being polite, politically stable and rational were not in a position to fuel enough to deal with couldn't provide enough nuclear fuel to power a continent of 750m even if enough reactors could be brought online to meet demand quick enough.

[@zaurenstoates7306]

We've known what to do with nuclear "waste" for decades Fast reactors can utilize the spent nuclear fuel of thermal reactors, in doing so it reduces the amount of time the waste needs to be stored from hundreds of thousands of years to hundreds of years. There's enough energy content in the SNF of the world to meet all of our energy needs for 50+ years

[@Migman2020]

Not ALL nuclear waste is spent fuel rods.. It can be as something simple as spanner that's been exposed to lethal amounts for a long time etc. It has to be locked away still and that is the big problem with nuclear waste.. there is so much of it because of that

[@zaurenstoates7306]

@@Migman2020 True, but it's important to note that tools like spanners and other equipment, while they can become radioactive, are generally much less of a problem than spent fuel rods. Many of these tools can actually be decontaminated and reused, or safely disposed of as low-level waste. They also make up a much smaller portion of overall nuclear waste compared to spent fuel, which is the real long-term challenge due to its high radiation and long half-lives. So while both need careful handling, the impact from tools is far less significant.

Quick question about the fusion; So, how do you communicate the thermal energy generated by the °150,000,000 plasma reaction to enough water to make the process efficient & diffuse that energy pulse among the water so that you don't have an instant stream explosion from all the water in the system flash boiling?

[@Ethiopianguru]

[@mygillian]

@4:58 hmmmm, actually the Philippines does have a nuclear power plant, but it hasn't been activated yet due to safety concerns among local communities. However, the Philippines and the US recently signed an agreement to develop civil nuclear energy in the country, which could lead to the eventual activation of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant.

[@AnthonyMaw]

Regarding ITER I would like to see how they propose to extract thermal energy heat from the sustained fusion reactor. It's not like you can put water or liquid sodium pipes into the reactor core.

[@akula9713]

Did they give up on travelling wave reactors to use up spent nuclear fuel?

Nuclear fuel is only 3-5% U235, and it's not like you just go looking around in the ground for it. Uranium ore is what's mined, and it's pretty plentiful. Enrichment is what concentrates the useful isatopes. Compared to other low carbon energy sources (especially wind and solar,) nuclear requires less mining of rare materials.
