looks like we found "that guy".. the one who posts about the enormous amount of used fuel circling the globe looking for a home.

There is a nuclear power plant not far from me. it went "live" in 1973 and all the spent fuel to date is still stored on site.

Step 1 : sit in a pool for around 10 years

Step 2 : sit in a dry canister for a few more decades.

Eventually we need to find a better solution, but the fact remains there is not a whole lot of it.

Okay, cool. So as long as there's never a natural/man-made disaster that disturbs said pool, no problem. Good thing that would never happen in a place like Georgia.

And yeah, eventually we'll take care of it. Just like we've been saying for 50 years.

Burning fossil fuels produces more net harm than any amount of radioactive waste ever will. Radioactivity just manages to be scarier than air pollution and climate change because our psychology doesn't map well to reality because we evolved to be afraid of fast-moving problems, not slow-moving ones.
