Einst als Atommüll-Endlager vorgesehen, wird das ehemalige Bergwerk Gorleben in Niedersachsen ab heute zurückgebaut. In die entstandenen Hohlräume wird wieder Salz gefüllt. Um Gorleben hatte es jahrzehntelange Diskussionen gegeben.
you’d think that but still we have protesters. and I get it, no one wants to be known for storing a few gigatons of radioactive waste in their geology. BUT. Choosing not to put it somewhere just distributes the problem further and makes many, many risk vectors out of what should be a secured resource.
and I say that because the other thing centralization would allow for is the reprocessing of spent fuels into new fuels and byproducts. as is, shit’s just sitting around decaying.
edit: I love the downvotes who don’t have anything to say, they just disapprove. are they anti nuke, or so pro nuke I’m not pro enough?
we’ll never know because they lack the spine to type out a comment.
