Sean, i graduated from a french "institute of matter and ionisation".while i did not specialised in nuclear energy, i am probably more aware than most Australian educated scientists of any nuclear tech matter.i visited nuclear power plants and La hague with is the waste processing plant treating much of nuclear waste worlwide, i was also living less than 50km from a waste burial site.
Trust me on that one, we still have NOT solved nuclear waste.
Concentrated waste are enclosed into glass cube..i obviously take great shorcuts here and then put into gigantic cooling swimming pool with ultra pure water..
These waste have half lives in the thousands of yera..aka they will be half as dangerous as now in a couple of thousand years.
If you or anyone sane can say that for the next couple of years, these poool will be kept running, then waste issue is solved...
Just facts..i am not against nuclear , it is just not economical with fission..due to waste costs, you get cheap energy and send the dismantling bill to your kids.
And while it is safe..plutonium is scary as a poison, not for radioactivity, it is not a solution in my opinion.
Thorium and fusion are valid and achievable in my view nuclear solution.thorium can be done now, fusion is getting great leaps forwards lately
