This is a good thing but you need a place to store the waste rather keeping it on site.
Actually, nuclear waste can be re-used, if it weren’t for Jimmuh Cartah’s idiot regulation forcing people to bury it all. See some of the previous posts.
Notably, the stuff with the longest half-life can be re-used, instead of trying to find a waste dump, which no one wants in their back yard.
It’s still another case of environmentalists doing far more damage to the environment than anyone else.
