still worth for the conversion of radiative energy to biological activity

nuclear waste may become green :)

Well technically it already is pretty darn green in that the energy system concentrates its waste into tiny generally well-contained packages that have, per TWh generated, a relatively miniscule negative impact and footprint on the biosphere.

I recognize this is controversial but the numbers are pretty solid.

Totally true and nothing disappoints me more than the push away from nuclear energy

[TouchyJoe]

totally untrue they dump the western nucular waste in front of the Somalian coast.

Not really, almost all the radiation is converted to heat just like in any shielding material.

hum isn't it more efficient to divert it into "productive" chemical active than average heat (then used for whatever) ?
