Our high-level nuclear waste, spent fuel from nuclear reactors, is the most substantive creation of human civilization. It will outlast everything else humans have made.
It is how our descendants will know us, we are the people who made that.
How do we warn the 1,000s of generations who will experience risk from this radioactive waste?
@bojacobs@sts@histodons it is mind-warping to think about how long nuclear #waste lasts, but safe locations with extremely low #seismic activity (like #Finland) can be used to safely store waste for 10s of thousands of years. This, together with how small the waste really is, is enough for me to feel safe knowing that #nuclear is part of the #energy chain.
