Russia Unveils Detailed Plans To Build 21 New Nuclear Power Units By 2030

10. Absolute and complete rubbish, indeed deliberately misleading

How exactly are the highly unstable atoms that are the source of the radioactivity suddenly rendered radioactively stable? The point of reprocessing is to remove some of the most unstable and long lived isotopes then concentrate and immobilise them in a matrix that can be "safely" stored - except no country in the world has such a safe storage facility and no vitrification process has yet been approved for such storage.

If, as you falsely claim,

If you reprocess / recycle the waste; then it is NOT long-lived

then please explain to me why the site at Yucca Mountain is needed? Why was there a proposed site at Selafield until it was canceled because (like all other such sites) was no guarantee that aquifers could not be contaminated by the vitrified waste.

As to reactors lasting for decades you will be aware that all reactors have problems with metal failure, both welds and bulk metal, due to the high levels of radioactivity altering the structure of the metal itself. You will also be aware that the pumps and turbines of all power stations have to be replaced at regular intervals because because they cannot be guaranteed to work for decades.

You have either chosen to believe the vile propaganda of the nuclear industry without doing any of your own checks or you are one of those used to disseminate such propaganda.
