I still remember learning that and about breeder reactors (they produce fissile material from common isotopes) and feeling so betrayed by the common zeitgeist
Indeed, nuclear is among the safest and cleanest forms of energy currently available to us! All the waste in the world for life barely fills a few football fields’ worth of space, if I recall correctly.
Hell, some of the more modern designs barely produce that…
What’s the point then?!

The issue with waste is not the volume but the duration.
One football field 10 meters high to be precise.
You’re mixing US and metric measurement systems there. You should either stick to meters or come up with a sports analogy for the height.
11.574 standard National Baseball League baseball bats high
What if their from the parts of the world that call “soccer” football and also use metric? Which is basically everyone.
I knew it was something around there, thanks!
