When I was an engineer at Rockwell, one of our scientists created ceramic pellets using nuclear waste. The waste materials were locked up as constituents of the ceramic and could not be leached out by water.

A barrel of those pellets could heat water to boiling for thousands of years. Nice energy source.

As it turns out, the anti-nuke crowd is NOT interested in actual solutions except the option of abandoning nuke power forever.

I once met a guy from the Clamshell Alliance, a prominent anti-nuke group. I asked him about using fusion power plants.

He said, "Our position is that any fusion power plant has to be at least 93 million miles away from inhabited areas, i.e., the sun". He looked smug at this bit of humor.

If the greens were serious about cutting carbon emissions, they would be all for fusion power as well as thorium powered LFTRs. BTW, LFTRs can burn up rad waste and obtain the energy.
