There is still no permanent storage for it either. They just stockpile it year after year hoping some time in the future they'll figure it out. Well, that's part of "managing it properly". 😁 2 Quote Link to comment
Ooph! Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) There are methods of recycling it but all of the methods have been fought by the environmental extremists. So we are left with the current method of temporary storage of the fuel rods at the generating site until they can be vitrified and stored in a permanent storage facility (Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository) which the extremists also fight against. What prevents us from recycling it is the generation of Plutonium the fear of transferring that material to countries that would mishandle is what prevents us from recycling it. If we were to recycle the waste material it is radioactive for 3 to 500 years instead of thousands Edited February 24, 2022 by Ooph! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Recycling will have it's own left over waste. We need something with zero leftover waste. Best method I heard was dropping into the ocean into a subduction zone. Over time it ends up buried in the earth's crust 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Terribly inefficient, and he needs 3 of those put puts. Sort of like using shotgun blasts to push yourself down the road. Quote Link to comment

Like all the buried containers at Hanford leaking into the water table. Exactly .. When I was young middle-late 80s . my brothers got me a pretty high paying job with no experience.. we were an outside contractor , and one of the things we did was , lined very large pipes with lead ( 3”-4” thick) Then a crew was sent from Seattle to Hanford to make sure installers didn’t fuck it up . They always made jokes we were making nuclear bombs , lol The guys going over always said that place was a disaster. And that there was no way what they were doing was an acceptable way of storing that shit. and these were guys that wallowed in LEAD . . 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Fun fact .. out of the 10 of the long termers that worked at that place, 4 of us had identical twins and one had fraternal twins . well , it wasn’t 2020 yet so WE didn’t have them , but you nonbinary-unaccepting, normal pronoun using, homophobes get the gist . you make me sick . 1 1 Quote Link to comment
