Nuclear “Waste”

Doesn’t nuclear power produce dangerous waste?

Spent Fuel from nuclear reactors has been safely stored for more than 50 years.
Scientists agree that deep geologic storage is safe, economical and feasible.
Nuclear power is the only generation source that is required to contain its “waste” and pay for its storage.
Spent fuel from nuclear reactors can be reprocessed or used as fuel in advanced reactors.

A quick look at the radiation involved in storing used nuclear fuel and how long it lasts:

“By burning away all the pesky carbon and other impurities, coal power plants produce heaps of radiation”

“Nuclear waste disposal, although a continuing political problem, is not any longer a technological problem.”
