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.
I agree. DARPA is working on a nuclear battery using nuclear waste.There is revival of interest in small and simpler units for generating electricity from nuclear power, and for process heat
