It's wonderful lmao...wait,i am wrong or did you snuck anti-nuclear propaganda in the meme? Bruh

I mean, thoughts on nuclear waste? They certainly need management, and I dunno if humans are good at waste management.

I think we don't really have problems with nuclear waste management right now, at least i think in europe, idk about America or Asia so please tell me if i am wrong.

We do have one in Germany. While we are searching for suitable long term storage, the barrels are rusting away in salt mines.

Okay i have to search about this, why the hell the barrels are in salt mines tho? 😭

Salt is plastic and over time will completely engulf the waste.

If you can't make nuclear waste disappear them your always have a waste management problem.

Waste never disappear, it just get transformed in something else.

Paper? Can be recycled to be more paper or burned to be ashes and gas

Radioactive waste? Eventually it became lead, just in a long time, anyway, this was just to make you know that waste don't "disappear" like magic.

Radioactive waste can be repurposed, at least, for the majority of it, in the other cases where it can't be repurposed they try to get as much as they can from the waste(making it also less risky to manage overall) and enclosed in a reinforced concrete cage in a earthquake-safe area, in something like 50~ years it became almosts safe and can be managed again
