Guns and ketamine. This sounds like a much more effective solution to *any* problems you can think of.

@laufi @felippo

And speaking of Germany you should be also aware that you already have *two* deep geologic repositories in Herfa-Neurode and Zielitz.

Of course nobody cares because they are "only" used to store extremely toxic mercury, arsenic and cyanide waste but no nuclear waste.

The only difference is that nuclear will lose toxicity in 100 years while chemical waste will be just as toxic in a million of years.

@laufi @felippo

Your numbers are wrong and most likely you're counting *all* categories of nuclear waste, including stuff like gloves or clothes used for nuclear medicine which are required by law to be treated as "nuclear waste".

I don't know about Germany but in the UK there was just 2150 m3 high-level nuclear waste from all 60-years long nuclear program (!).

Just for comparison, a coal plant produces ~2000 m3 of slightly radioactive ash in a day (!) or so.

@laufi @blueplanetslittlehelper @felippo

The problem is that you are *not* avoiding any risk. You are just replacing a nominal risk of nuclear accident in Germany with a massive risk of pollution from fossil coal, gas and renewable manufacturing.

@Wetrix Correct, at least if we took Greenpeace's word for how radiation works 😂

@laufi @blueplanetslittlehelper @felippo

Absolutely yes, and this is why it's so important to resort to scientific data on radiation, which is very well studied, rather than general radiophobic scare. What really matters for human health is 1) absorbed dose, 2) concentration of particular isotopes in particular organs. This is why iodine isotopes are more dangerous than cesium for example.

This is the best lecture I've seen on this topic ever:

@laufi @blueplanetslittlehelper @felippo

You are completely misrepresenting the balance here. Firstly, the actual amount of nuclear waste is tiny, especially when compared to waste from fossil or renewable industries which is a simple physical consequence of nuclear surface power density being hundreds times higher. The photo shows all the waste produced by Swiss nuclear program for the last half century sitting in the sealed containers. And there's a guy just standing there.

Each *month* airline passengers expose themselves to a radiation dose equivalent to the one released in Fukushima and the dose received by airline crews are way higher than those received by #nuclear plant workers. Obviously no environmental organisations push moral panic about the about this massive source of radiation, perhaps because it's "natural" 😂

@blueplanetslittlehelper

Also in case of nuclear what makes 70% of the cost is not construction but interest on funding so there's an easy way to make it cheap: just use low-interest public funding as China and Russia do.

@laufi @felippo

@blueplanetslittlehelper

If you want to make profit on energy then go for oil and gas.

If you want to decarbonize, then the best way seems to be a low-carbon energy sources with high capacity factor and high surface power density.

Not sure what you're talking about but it doesn't seem to dispute the facts about CO2 emissions presented here.
