And storage, strangely that safety topic never gets raised with nuclear. If we can build safe nuclear, we can build safe hydrogen storage

We can safely store nuclear waste. What do you think happens to all the radioactive waste produced by hospitals ?

    Shoved into tanks or old mines and hope nothing happens?

    Yep, so why we would be a problem to store waste from a nuclear plant (which I suppose would be less then what the hospitals produces).

    Fun fact: at the end of 2025 (so last year) Italy has increased radioactive waste by volumes which then have a lower radioactivity, so maybe even the radioactivity of the waste is a problem that is going to be solved
