the radiation issues (which are a non issue, really. You could lick a depleted fuel rod and if you get ill it wont be the radiation.)
What the fuck are you talking about. Go to Fallujah and tell me that all the depleted uranium we filled that city full of isn't dangerous.
Miss me with that accusation of hypocrisy because I'm not simultaneously railing against all forms of environmental waste in a thread about nuclear power on chapo.chat
I'm just really tired of nuclear advocates acting like we can either A) just like bury it lol how hard could it be or B) acting like we can just wait for some magical technology to be invented to make it a non-issue
It's dangerous, sure. Its just probably not in the top 10 dangerous ordinance remnants in Fallujah. And its danger is mostly its chemical toxicity as a heavy metal. Again, safer than a bar of, say, cadmium.
Turns out heavy metals in civilian areas is bad, who knew?
Seriously, actually have had jobs working in enviromental soil testing here.

probably get more radiation from a cigarette than spending a day there
