/sci/,

I need to learn all about nuclear waste, its disposal methods, and the pros and cons of each. Do you have links and shit that might help me out?

I'm writing a big essay for it so I need a lott of information.

GO TO THE FUCKING LIBRARY YOU STUPID FAGGOT. ITS NOT OUR JOB TO HELP YOU WITH RESEARCH. THAT'S A LIBRARIAN'S JOB.

Actually by participating in the internet, you have automatically signed an agreement with everyone else on the internet that your job is now to help them.

I'm just glad you're doing research on nuclear waste, which is a hell of a lot more than any nuclearfag on here does to support their irradiated bias.

if it's really that fucking great, why aren't we using thorium right now? Maybe a few weeaboos would have been saved some crying if their precious country hadn't blown up due to their uranium and plutonium shit.

Nuclear Power:

Pros:
the actual power conversion is very clean and long-lasting. Makes a lot of power.

Cons: Extracting it from the Earth is very dirty as is improperly disposing of the waste. Not dirty like full of dirt but like giving everything in the vicinity weird cancers and poisoning the water supply.
Also, even if you manage to find the room to properly bury the waste underground, its half-life is so long you need to construct hieroglyphics around the site to deter whatever post-human stumbles across it.
Plus stuff like Chernobyl happens.

Be sure not to conflate hippies with middle-class faggots. Middle-class people don't like buried nuclear waste but don't give a shit about sending it to poor countries. Hippies don't like either, but their vote is marginal so they have no voice.

Because, during the time when nuclear power was being developed, something called the Cold War was going on. It was important for nuclear power plants to be able to produce material for nuclear weapons. This is why thorium was mostly abandoned as a power source about 50 years ago.
