From a technical point of view, nuclear waste is a solved problem. The issue is political.

Ibidem for the fuel: yes, you can depends on wild countries; You can also depends on Australia, Canada and India, which seems like not-so-bad countries (in my opinion);

When it comes to nuclear waste repositories real experts official publish: "Internationally, it is understood that there is no reliable scientific basis for predicting the process or likelihood of inadvertent human intrusion."

I have no idea how this information relates to the parent post;

[natmaka]

A problem with nuclear waste is that living being (especially human beings) must not be exposed to it.

[JackSlateur]

Yes

Like magma, sulfuric acid, mercurium, lead, basically thousands of stuff

You eat it, you die

You're being obtuse on purpose and that's not nice. Could you please just respond to the argument in a good faith manner rather than pretend you don't understand the argument?

[JackSlateur]

Yes

As I said earlier, I do not understand the relation between the answer and its parent

Yes, toxic waste are toxic, this is not the issue (as far as I know)

The issue is the long life of nuclear waste, which is a solved problem due to fast breeder reactor (half life ~30ky, which is nothing compared to what light water reactors produce); Also, the quantity of waste is drastically reduces;

Why are not mass producing them: political issue;

Solved problem? Have you ever waited 10000 years to see if the waste really decomposes and the area where it was stored is safe for kids to play?

[JackSlateur]

Ergo FBR, no 10000y+ nuclear waste, problem solved

(there is still very low amount of waste that have a long half-life, really not a big deal)
