  • what a prick. distorting the facts.

  • @CobaltX07

    Sadly, people aren't that logical. Nuclear power causes far less deaths per TWH than any other source - 0.04, while the next safest, hydroelectrical, is at 0.1 - but all greenpeace care about is is scaremongering, and it's easy to do that with nuclear power.

  • @sweetscience1988 We can also recycle it to make more fuel using breeder reactors, if the UK used breeders to produce all of it's electricity the country would produce less nuclear waste than it currently is. Moving it around is unessecessary, it can just be left to decay.

  • @EquusFerrarius we can move it around, recycle it in weapons but thats about it

  • @sweetscience1988 Why can't we?

  • @yousaytomatoisaywhy look at australia place is litered in radioactive waste, once the money has been made they dont care, just close down and move out

  • @EquusFerrarius the earth maybe able to deal with it, but we cant 

  • @Mineretta2012 I've sent you an article, I was told about it by a friend who referenced it in his degree thesis.

  • @EquusFerrarius That is interesting. Did you make that up or do you have Scientific and Historical documents to back up your statement. Either way I am interested in hearing more.

  • @Mineretta2012 There was an entirely natural nuclear fission reaction in what is now Africa, It occured 2 billion years ago and continued for 100,000 years. The nuclear waste produced just sat their and decayed, it moved no more than a few meters in 2 billion years. The earth is more than capable of dealing with nuclear waste, it was producing it long before humans stumbled nuclear power.
