I don't view that as a solution at all. This to me is like sweeping dirt under the rug. It's still there and you just have to clean it up later.

Yeah, the half lives for things like Uranium and plutonium are 4 billion years and 24,000 respectively, I don't exactly see that as a good thing.

So we can move back into Chernobyl soon? Best estimates I read are around 25,000 years for it to be safe again.

Which would be cool if that's the outcome but again, it's obviously proven to be dangerous even if it's not in a reactor anymore. And I think it's on a level of dangerous that we shouldn't be moving forward with it. Yes it works, absolutely, I just think the risks to the people are too high to be using it moving forward when renewable sources are getting better all the time. We should have as much diversity in it as we can so if one system fails we have others to rely on.

It shouldn't just be Nuclear. Yes we have it now but we should be working towards other means to not only strengthen our system but get us off of nuclear energy. And before you say it, YES I know we have other sources now and not just Nuclear. I'm saying moving forward, we should understand that we are going to run out of coal and oil eventually and should be focusing on replacing those as well.

Not saying it's a monster, just too dangerous for me and I think we can do better. I know coal and oil suck for environmental concerns which is why I'm saying we should be getting off those as well. If they were cleaner it may not be an issue since they're safer than nuclear. It's a trade off between them, some are safe and dirty, others are clean and unsafe. I'd prefer clean and safe.

Not just Chernobyl has had issues recently. But again it's also the waste as well. Again, just giving my opinion that I don't view them as safe or a good alternative. Issues still develop when they fail which leads to harm going to the public. About 156,000 people were displaced from the disaster because they were too close to the power plant. (fukushima) Now, if it's fine, why did they have to leave? That's the issue to me. If you have to run from it, it's not safe. Just like fracking how it makes water ignite. That to me says we should not be doing it if we make our drinking water flammable.

"Incase" but it can happen. Trust me get where you're coming from. To me it's like saying drive this car. It's fast, it's stylish, it pollutes a bit but we can manage it. Oh yeah? Any issues? Well if you go 300 mph and hit something it'll explode and kill everyone within 300 feet of you. Uhhh....why does it explode like that? Oh don't worry about it, the car can't go 300 mph so you don't have anything to worry about. No serious why the fuck does my car explode?

That's what I'm getting at. It may be unlikely but it's still a large failure if it does fail. If it were to fail and the building collapsed and that was it then I don't really care. Just make sure the workers know.
