its been directly touching the rods

2019-08-13 04:28:40 UTC  

the scales drilling can work at are orders of magnitude below what the earth itself does

2019-08-13 04:28:44 UTC  

And this is what happens when u don't survey corrrectly

2019-08-13 04:28:45 UTC  

Yeah I thought about that but I'm not an expert on nuclear engineering so I went with doubt

Why am I suddenly getting images of Homer at the nuclear plant? XD

2019-08-13 04:28:58 UTC  

Here's a solution: We'll build the nuclear power plants in Mexico, and run power lines North into the United States.

Problem. Solved.

2019-08-13 04:29:10 UTC  

@Laucivol There should be!

2019-08-13 04:29:11 UTC  

that was drilled into an existing salt mine, a very different situation

2019-08-13 04:29:18 UTC  

achernobyl impacted most of eastern europe pretty heavily

2019-08-13 04:29:28 UTC  

an accident in mexico would still fuckover the us

2019-08-13 04:29:37 UTC  

plus youd have incompetent mexicns running shit

2019-08-13 04:29:39 UTC  

also massive body of water, so not all man made

2019-08-13 04:29:42 UTC  

nah, we build a container that can survive catastrophic failure droped from orbit. test the HELL out of it, then launch the waste

2019-08-13 04:29:49 UTC  

i can test a container

2019-08-13 04:29:55 UTC  

They blow up nuclear bombs underground just build the whole facility underground

2019-08-13 04:29:58 UTC  

can't test something to last 10k yrs

2019-08-13 04:30:07 UTC  

have fun with that kiddo

2019-08-13 04:30:09 UTC  

They don't because its already not profitable

2019-08-13 04:30:17 UTC  

Build your nuclear power plants inside of actual mountains.

Problem solved.

2019-08-13 04:30:24 UTC  

rockets are insanely expensive

2019-08-13 04:30:24 UTC  

they don't do it cause of the people they killed

2019-08-13 04:30:33 UTC  

Yucca Mountain already exists

2019-08-13 04:30:39 UTC  

and they arent transporting tonnes of radioactive fuel

2019-08-13 04:30:42 UTC  

succa mountent

2019-08-13 04:30:46 UTC  

i know luci

2019-08-13 04:30:46 UTC  

yucca mountain was never developed

2019-08-13 04:30:51 UTC  

the environmental whackos have kept it from going into operation

2019-08-13 04:30:52 UTC  

Why dispose of fuel, when you can reprocess and reuse it?

2019-08-13 04:30:53 UTC  

don't' be so serious

2019-08-13 04:31:01 UTC  

uh, yes it was

2019-08-13 04:31:05 UTC  

it was not

2019-08-13 04:31:10 UTC  

I know geos who worked there

2019-08-13 04:31:11 UTC  

in yucca mountain there exists two shafts

2019-08-13 04:31:11 UTC  

can't reprocess cheaply

2019-08-13 04:31:14 UTC  

only two shafts

2019-08-13 04:31:17 UTC  

it's just aheat source

2019-08-13 04:31:25 UTC  

The Soviet Union actually launched satellites with onboard nuclear reactors

2019-08-13 04:31:27 UTC  

it was never developed into a storage space

2019-08-13 04:31:31 UTC  

it was scrapped under obama

2019-08-13 04:31:34 UTC  

for whatever reason
