A comment on How do you make safe, cheap nuclear reactors? Bury them a mile deep. Parent comment
- major accidents will be very rare (if any),
- industrial breeding will become possible (in order not to be dependent on uranium reserves or suppliers),
- nuclear power was the only option (at the time there were no industrial way to exploit renewable energy)
- terrorists, war and suicidal operators were not factors,
- dumping nuclear waste in various places (even in the sea) is adequate
All this is now way more difficult to believe.
