They don't because its already not profitable

Build your nuclear power plants inside of actual mountains.

Problem solved.

rockets are insanely expensive

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

Yucca Mountain already exists

and they arent transporting tonnes of radioactive fuel

succa mountent

i know luci

yucca mountain was never developed

the environmental whackos have kept it from going into operation

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

don't' be so serious

uh, yes it was

it was not

I know geos who worked there

in yucca mountain there exists two shafts

can't reprocess cheaply

only two shafts

it's just aheat source

The Soviet Union actually launched satellites with onboard nuclear reactors

it was never developed into a storage space

it was scrapped under obama

for whatever reason

i love that video of the lake being SUCKED INTO THE GROUND

Same

Sauce or it didn't happen, @ManAnimal.

lake was right over a salt mine

I've seen it and its fucking awesome

they got a good way

they made two shafts

they mined out an entrance

yeah but they didn't survery correctly

that isnt development

thats preliminary

and it was scrapped

heavy industry too a major hit during obama

too close to the water table

Isn't digging the tunnel to an underground development area literally the hardest part?

afaik

the only true deep rock storage for nuclear fuel on earth
