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

[@ronanfitzpatrick1261]

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. Life isn't simple lad😮

[@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.

The tricountry area is very well integrated and all those populations are very technical and very well educated. There are a lot of great minds behind everything there. With the EU, borders are mostly gone and even most students speak all the languages making this a relatively simple thing to accomplish. Governments need to get behind the project. People might think they might lose there national identity? ...but moving great farming out of NL not so sure that is the answer either...

Nice bit of fun on Dawson Creek. Just to be clear, the name of the town is Dawson Creek while the TV series is Dawson's Creek. And there is no relation between the two. I actually spent a month as a young engineer there working a several engineering projects: gas plant in Tumbler Ridge, cogeneration plant in Fort St. John. Beautiful area locally referred to as Peace Country or 'The Peace" as it's part of the Peace River valley.

@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.

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?

Nuclear waste is recyclable, we can continue to harness the nuclear energy within it and create power. This also decreases is “shelf life” from thousands of years to hundreds maybe even less. Some places do it, but not many, problem is we don’t have those facilities built yet to do it.

Shouldnt another reason to not use it bejng that u-235 is a rarer form of uranium? Itll become rarer the more we use it and dont find another way. Its just steam power at the end of the day

[@wileycoyote556]

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.

[@InservioLetum]

22:35 _"There's no other solution"_ CORRECTION Yes there is, and we've known about this technique for literally centuries : herd management.
