“Now just think about the years of spent fuel stored at a nuclear power sit. What could go wrong?”


If years of spent fuel are stored at site, it is precisely because nuclear produces minuscule quantities of byproduct while generating huge energy.

Those Minuscule quantities of Nuclear waist are more deadly than anything on the planet. And they last for eons.

However you are even wrong about the quanity, and it just shows how ignorant you people are.

“A 1000-MW nuclear power plant produces about 27 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel (unreprocessed) every year. In 2010, there was very roughly estimated to be stored some 250,000 tons of nuclear HLW, that does not include amounts that have escaped into the environment from accidents or tests.”
