Keep falling for the narrative of the nuclear power industry.

Denying the basic problems with recycling, TRANSPORTATION and storage is not helping.

Man, the source I listed is literally from a guy with a Ph.D on the topic. Where exactly am I "falling for the narrative of the nuclear industry?" An industry which, by the way, hardly exists in the US anymore.

> Denying the basic problems with recycling, TRANSPORTATION and storage is not helping.

Do you care to elaborate on what any of these supposed basic problems actually are?

You can tell that the biggest damage from nuclear power plant waste is emotional, by the fact that no one gives a shit about disposal of radioactive coal power plant ash.

Even though that shit is dumped next to where people live on the regular, with increases to cancer rates as you would expect.

What's the nuclear recycling failure? Isnt the US running nuclear plants off of decommissioned Soviet weapons?
