Among many. Extrajudicial Executions are far more common than official ones. And the police rob more money of people than all other criminals combined (excluding white collar crime, of course). So yeah, totally civilised.
Even Hitler and Stalin didn't use chemical warfare because they knew the repercussions. But Putin is just too far gone at this point to see any reason.
A lot. Also, since he's been busy spreading hate on Xitter, Telsa has notably lacked direction and focus. They've just been coasting for the past three years or so. Time for a new CEO.
90+% of it can be re-used in the future EPRs and 4th gen reactors, and transformed to low-level waste which are way less radioactive.
None of this stuff exists and there is no timeline as when it might be made into reality. Just another pipe dream.
The most radioactive waste are those which deplete the fastest. You don’t have to store those ones for millions of years, we’re talking about decades or 2-3 centuries at most.
So how are you going to separate out the technetium? Just because something is doable in a lab, doesn't mean it's doable on an industrial scale.
It’s sealed and not going anywhere and it can definitely wait years, even decades, for something like Cigéo to be built.
Yeah, let's let the future generations sort it out. At the same time, let's work at bringing down civilisation. What could go wrong?
Stop pretending it’s some kind of unsolvable problem, nuclear engineers have solved it decades ago,
No they haven't. Not at all. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.
it’s just anti-nuclear folks that oppose all solutions provided.
Yeah yeah yeah, same old bullshit. The reality is that this stuff just doesn't work economically.
It'll certainly mean a huge loss if power and influence for the US. Right now the Europeans pretty much follow the US's lead when it comes to trade deals, political and military alliances etc. And they turn a blind eye to US imperialism in the Middle East and Latin America. All this would change and once the Europeans become more aware of their own power and willing to use it, they'll be a real geopolitical rival to the US.
Kim Il Sung spent decades establishing his successor. And he had absolute power by then. Neither applies to Trump. What usually happens in these cases it's that the potential successors are at each other's throats. This often results in civil wars, like what we have in Libya and Sudan right now.
On 17 January 2023, Andra submitted the application for authorisation to create the Cigéo site to the Ministry of Energy Transition. The Nuclear Safety Authority has five years to examine the file and decide whether or not to authorise the creation of the site.
So maybe they'll start building this thing in five years. OK. And we all know projects like this always come in in time and in budget, right? The problem of nuclear waste storage constantly gets handwaved away by the fanboys but we're nowhere near any kind of solution.
So the US doesn't have a century long record of meddling in Latin America in order to keep the governments weak and societies easily exploitable? No coups, no United Fruit, nothing?
If the US president got elected by getting the most votes, there wouldn't have been a Republican since Bush senior. I really don't understand why electoral reform is not higher on the political agenda in the US.
Nuclear is expensive because when particulate pollution kills millions of people every year, nobody cares at all. But when a nuclear accident kills exactly zero people, we get massive levels of hysteria and shut down a dozen nuclear power plants on the other side of the planet.
That's the dumbest take I've ever heard on this topic and that's saying a lot. And how do you know how many people were killed by the Fukushima triple meltdown that is in no way contained and has displaced tens of thousands of people permanently? The answer is we don't know because the Japanese government has systematically suppressed any reliable information from coḿing out. Which just goes to show that nuclear power is a danger to democracy on top of all its other drawbacks.
And who ever said the alternative to building nuclear plants is building more fossil fuel generation capacity? That's just delusional. Nobody is doing that, in fact fossil ist very quickly being replaced by renewable at a pace nuclear could in no realistic scenario get even remotely close to.
