THIS is the most radioactive place on Earth! #shorts

What do you think is the best nuclear storage option?

[microcomputermaster]

Most of this stuff is currently sitting on the surface in cooling ponds outside nuclear power plants, or in lead-lined barrels that are already corroding away under the elements. Sticking it deep underground is definitely an improvement.

In the U.S.A. the government promised to provide a deep geological repository for high level radioactive waste in the 1950s. There still is no such repository and none on the near term horizon. Of all the dozens of nations that generate Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) waste only Finland has nearly completed such a repository. In general, the revenues, produced from nuclear power plants have always taken precedents over the final disposition of the high level radioactive waste produced by the power plants.

Never say never, poor people in 3023 probably won’t be able to read it

[CyberCy]

I dont know about you but i trust the scientists more than the opperators

[ThePizzaGoblin]

Wow this place is so honorable. I bet some great deeds are esteemed here!

[faroukobafemi]

Imagine the gift we have prepared for future Archaeologists.

[perryfinn]

Well north Europe people care more about carbon dioxide rather than radioactive

[Lou--rp]

Imagine going to this place in 4084 and seeing a random giant mutant isopod just chilling on a park bench

[GoldSwordKiller]

Solid, processed material is such a good storage option that this is kind if obsolete now. Its sad that we don't really get to use insanely deep storage like this, but amazing at how much we can reduce the radioactivity of fuel to a point if it being okay to touch the containers.

Leave instructions for generations ahead in millions years

Pretty sure Lake Karachay has this place beat when it comes to being "The most radioactive place on earth".

[psylinx]

Or If I remember correctly that type of radioactive substances can be put through another type of reactor again.

[markharris]

It sounds scary, but for those of us who remember the recurrent smogs in the 70s which killed tens of thousands in the UK, it is a lesser evil. I remember traffic crawling along being guided by a line of glowing oil-soaked rags to identify the curb at the side of the roadway. The streetlights could not be seen by drivers or pedestrians through the thick black oily smog. For weeks after a smog, blowing ones nose would produce a clear black stain on ones handkerchief. The process of shot-blasting the blackened Victorian buildings of Manchester in the late 20th century revealed a world which had not been seen by a living soul. With coal gone, the buildings are still clean. Civilisation is impossible without the consumption of energy.

I want to work at a nuclear power plant when i grow up. An im in Finland.

[beakytwitch]

Why ?
Spent fuel rods get stored for 100 years while the short-lived radionucleotides decay away. Then the rods get processed and their composite materials separated and re-used. And as and when we change to Thorium lftr reactors, even the highly active waste from uranium reactors can be burned up.

[drumkommandr]

So uh
Few lies here
The most radioactive place would be the ruins of the Chernobyl reactor
Nuclear waste storage does not emit dangerous levels of radiation

[lunatik]

Thorium reactors can burn plutonium and uranium waste.

[letideman]

How much energy does it take to build this place?

[breakthrough]

wow that's so deep you can hear my echo....
