    Yes. Nuclear waste is tiny. That’s the point.

    Nuclear isn’t the only hazardous waste we dispose of burying it.

    We’re disposing of tonnes of hazardous waste daily. Only a tiny percentage of that is nuclear waste.

    Yet for some reason everyone loses their mind about the comparatively tiny amount of hazardous waste from nuclear and no one cares about the significantly larger about of hazardous waste from the eventual disposal of solar panels and 100s of other sources of hazardous waste.

      The half life of solar panels is insignificant.

      The half life of high grade nuclear waste is significant.
