This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
So we have to replace a few tons of shielding that's lightly radioactive every 2-6 years. That's literally a vehicle's worth of waste to power tens of thousands of homes.
You'll find that nuclear fission is not very different.
Nuclear submarines for example only need to be refueled once or twice in their multiple decade lifespan.
Yes. They're both incredibly efficient.
And if somehow, despite that efficiency, we still have problems figuring out how to store that nuclear waste today. I know this ought to be a solvable problem, but we seem to struggle with it.
