Just 20% of the city's total population.

And the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge.

Dong Phuong bakery.

Lots of little lakes, marshes and wildlife.

And, of course, a blighted amusement park.

We had Yucca mountain. In the middle of the desert, no one is around for miles. They spent several billion building the tunnels then Harry Reid killed it

FFS, can we just start reprocessing this shite and actually use it? Even Europe uses MOX fuel but we don't.

Between dry cask and spent fuel pools, we have so much energy just sitting around collecting dust all over the country.

Yes please do. It was my understanding that we don’t need to store the waste because we can reuse it

And something like 70-80% are on welfare and have been for generations. Time to cut our losses if we aren’t going to make them work

Carter killed reprocessing in the 70's for fear of nuke proliferation.

I found it.

Was a good link.

Recycling waste makes sense. I wonder if we get more money selling it rather than doing it ourselves?

Who's going to reprocess it? Who here has the equipment to do that? Why would anyone invest the money here to reprocess fuel when the next admin can always decimate your business on a whim?

Note: I'm aware that there are locations in the us that have the ability to do it. But no one has the capacity to reprocess on the scale you're talking about.

If only there was a celestial body that mankind could reach within a few days and claims that it already has landed on.

That thing would basically be begging to be a nuclear waste dump.

Not me. This is why Louisiana elected a Smart, Articulate, Coonarse Governor to solve these complex problems.
