minus-square@Umbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilink1•10 months agoI’m well aware of the hazards communication projects. Not really relevant to deep salt storage. Thousands of years is nothing across geologic time scales. Yeah 11 tons is literally nothing. That’s only 575 m^3 of uranium. That’s a third by mass of the average single German households trash production across the same time period. And it’s more dense, so less volume.
minus-square@Umbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilink1•10 months agoAh. Even so, that’s less than the trash output of 1000 citizens. The quantity of waste is not very worrisome to me at all, especially considering all the other possible hazardous wastes from other industrial processes.
minus-square@Umbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilink1•10 months agoRight. Across eighty years. Our current methods are genuinely good, and can more than meet demand current and future. Reprocessing is a more than viable solution, if you feel that demand can’t be met.
