’Why there will never be a solution to the radioactive waste problem’ Published by the Committee for Nu clear Responsibility.

In short, the more reactors, the more waste and the more likelihood there will be a waste transport accident. That’s of course, assuming that suitable waste repositories are developed and put into service. The article was written in 1977, notice, when terrorism and war were nt so clearly part of the risk landscape of nuclear electricity. Now, we have Zaporizhzhia in the middle of a war and we have threats of attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran.

But Google wants profits for its stockholders.
Google wants to give them radioactive assets, it seems.
