re: #79 SixDegrees
Briefly, they deal with the waste by concentrating it to a small fraction of it’s original volume. It’s more radioactive that way, but storage isn’t nearly as much of a problem in terms of space, and the half-life is also shortened. I believe they also extract useful isotopes of other elements that are used elsewhere.
Anyway, if the French can do it, I have to imagine that we certainly can.
Isn’t one of those elements weapons-grade plutonium?
