Something you had in there once shouldn't be overly radioactive

It still counts as radioactive waste. It was example of something regular people don't associate radioactive waste with, but still counts as one.

Something you had in there once shouldn't be overly radioactive and the fact that it isn't doesn't say anything about the dangers of radioactive waste.

"This waste shouldn't be overly dangerous and the fact that it isn't doesn't say how dangerous it is". Wow. How did you do this?

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the dangers of radioactive waste?

Did you read what I write?

I will rephrase you:

What does that even mean? How is that saying anything about the amount of radioactive waste?

In Soviet Lemmy this thread hates you

If you're talking breeder reactors

I was talking about reusing uranium from "spent" fuel, not about using plutonium. Found source that says "spent" fuel is 95-98% is mix of uranium isotopes that were there. Sadly, source doesn't say how much of each isotope, I expect very low amount of U-235. Yes, you can also use plutonium in MOX fuel, but only Russia~~, France~~ and China do that, as far as I know.

do we have any in the US?

Dunno. Do you? If you don't, you can buy them from mentioned above countries.

EDIT: France no longer has working breeder reactor? How did it happen?

Storage is a solvable problem.

Not in this economy. We need change in consumption too. Make loads opportunistic. Have extra energy - heat more water. Or heat homes. There was video on Technology Connected about it.

90% of magic rocks that no longer boil wsater is magic rocks that can boil water.

Do both then

I prefer to use technologies that are actually real rather than things I wish were real

Wake up, 80-ies were 40 years ago!

USSR figured it out long time ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BN-600_reactor

Anon forgets the nuclear waste.

Nuclear waste is pretty tame. Compare gloves that were used once to turn valve on pipe in reactor room to shit from coal in your lungs. Even most active kind of waste everyone thinks of - spent fuel - consists from about 90% of useful material.

EDIT: 95-98% of useful material.

Anon also forgets that the plants for the magical rocks are extremely expensive.

Actually not. Especially cost of energy compared to one of coal.

Soviet Union launched Venus-8

Don't worry, other countries won't let it happen because their economies are held hostage by US.

into unstable isotopes

No, they were there all along.

And then there are thermonuclear generators
