Places To Dump Nuclear Waste

[Anonymous No.9268523]

So, tell me why we can't just dump nuclear waste into like the deepest part of the "ring of fire" and let plate tectonics drag that shit into the core of the planet???

Because that is far more expensive to do than simply dumping it other places and letting it be someone else's problem in 100 years.

I find it hard to believe that putting onto a boat and dumping it into the ocean is more expensive then storing it on land.

>putting radioactive waste at the bottom of the ocean.
its cheaper to bury it than it is to poison the oceans.

>radioactive isotopes
>In the magma
>Entire magma of the Earth is now a radio active solution
>OozEs literally everywhere
>Volcanos spew it into the air

Are you this retarded?

the earth is as hot as it is, because of the uranium content.

just dump it in a toilet.

There isnt just some finite material we have to discard now. The nuclear waste builds up at by a rate of time. You could bury the material in the mantle, but in a few years, there's more material. So how would an incredibly expensive method of burying the material in the mantle, with no guarantee that it won't leak, be any better than burying the material 200ft below the surface?

Most of the geothermal budget comes from radioactive elements decaying in the mantle. Theres more uranium in the mantle than they are in the crust.

wait till a asteroid pass earth and place the nuclearwaste on it

The crust of the earth is 45km thicc. And the deepst ever created hole is 12-15km deep. Its not that easy. And its pretty expensive

If it would come back up from a volcano it would be so diluted that you wouldn't even notice it's there.

[Anonymous No.9269018]

>>9268523
because that is a giant amount of investment for no gain as opposed to just digging a repository, nuclear waste when at the stage where you are considering permanent storage solutions is not nearly as dangerous as people think it is
>>9268566
too bad water is excellent shielding and fresh waste is stored in pools before being moved to a repository

[Anonymous No.9269036]

>>9268552
That wouldn't work. You need to dig down quite a long long ways in order to inject it into the ring of fire. Otherwise, the next volcano will just spit it back out. Nuclear waste volcanoes doesn't really inspire confidence.

Naturally occurring radioactivity isn't concentrated into spent rods. Volcanoes aren't very hot. If it were that easy, we'd just burn the waste in furnaces. 2,400F isn't going to do shit to nuclear waste. Uranium oxide's melting point is 5,189F.

What's that in sane units?

too bad anything radioactive will eat apart any container over time and poison the ocean.

I thought the russians had made a nuclear reactor with compartments for the worst waste isotopes to be neutron bombarded, thus making them less dangerous. plus heat energy comes out.

[Anonymous No.9269120]

>>9268523
currently they vitrify it (make it all into a kind of glass) and then store it sometimes underground. the idea of turning it into glass is so that it should not be able to leak out so easily. but radio active stuff by its nature rots things, so thats the best we have for now.
