The waste products are negligible for the power produces. A kg of u-235 had energy potential equivalent to 24 **gigawatt

i do not think something that stays dangerous for longer than you have not shat your pants is negligible.

if shitting your pants was the way to get rid of radioactive waste, i would be all for it, but as it stands all you would be left with would be tainted with nobody to clean it up for you. and somebody would still have to take care of the radioactive waste... it doesnt just vanish. there are no organisms that eat it up and make it into foodstuffs for others.

maths can say it is negligible, but then sad hard reality kicks in and you have to be holding on to something that can kill not just you but anybody you tell to take over for you. this is not a place of honor

By that logic we should stop making solar becahse the chemicals used to create photovalic cells are highly toxic and dangerous. But we all agree thats a stupid reason when the benefits far outway the entirety containable downside. We also have the ability reprocess spent fuel now to get more energy out it and further reduce how long its radioactive. But that is not as profitable as using fresh fuel so it's not incentivized further by the politics and bureaucracy that puts several insanely high burdens and unnecessary burdens on it so its not as competitive as it could safely still be.

toxic waste is more managable than radioactive waste. that is the logic that i am pounding on here.

your logic says: let future generations take care of stuff we cant manage.

and i say: it would be very irresponsible as we already have messed up the planet enough. let's not add harder to manage waste to what's already there.

can we just agree to disagree?

im not even saying we should ban research or something, there is still radioactive waste to manage
