Look what China has been up to with nuclear power plants.

Has anyone solved the problem of nuclear waste yet? As far as I know the waste I protested against as a young girl 30 years ago, which was going to be stored in some super safe former salt mine, is still standing around over ground in some storage facility in Germany, waiting for an accident to happen. The only thing we can afford at this point is degrowth.

I'm sick of any new or old 'green' tech being used as an excuse to keep ramping up our energy use. It's all money making schemes to fill the pockets of investors, no matter if it's EVs and stupid lithium mines or nuclear and its fucking waste. And of course the mines and the waste never end up in the backyards of those who peddle that shit.

Finland is building the world's first long-term disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel. The facility will be operational by 2026, and decommissioned by 2100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onkalo_spent_nuclear_fuel_repository

world’s first

Good for them. Leaves the question where they put all the waste not produced in Finland.

They've been digging since 2004... how is nuclear energy profitable at all when accounting for the disposal lol.
