The linear fuel life time decommissions nuclear fuel as useless while it still has 90-something percent of energy potential left. Having a more cyclical life cycle allows for the spent fuel to be reconstituted into new fuel, and to be used anew. All the waste that does end up being produced is only a fraction of the waste produced in a linear process, and only dangerous on a societal timescale instead of a geological one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HaywardT@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) The places where that is done don't have a great track record. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I'm pretty sure France is one of those places and they have an amazing track record. permalink fedilink source parent [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Start digging then permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bashnagdul@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) They often put it in the mine it came from.
