I have a better idea, let's transform nuclear waste into ammunition and use the counter Daesh!


ps:Ah damn, I just saw that the idea has already been used against Saddam! :x

above all, we should return this waste to where it was extracted, which would encourage countries that favor these extractions to continue to do so! : Evil:

Mwaih ...

I do not know if Niger decides much in this matter! [one of the main suppliers of France].

And if he has the means and the sovereignty to do so ... When you are hungry, you sell your children!

Yes not a very good idea to send the waste back to them ... for the premises ...

Areva is a consort who decides everything or almost everything in Africa ... with the blessing of a few local high officials with baksheesh ... The Mali War is linked to French uranium even if we don't say it too much: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerre_du_Mali
Finally a little anyway here for example: http://www.lepoint.fr/editos-du-point/j ... 466_53.php

In addition it could give them dirty bomb ideas given the African instability of the moment !!

So no, let's keep the waste with us !!

It's possible ! but Areva or other has not imposed itself and the money (or other subtleties that we ignore) does not go into the pocket of the children in question.

No more than the lands "ceded" to the Chinese are used to feed the population of the country, which cries of having fallen back into slavery, which does not say its name!
That said, we reprocess and store waste that is not "ours"!
Yes not a very good idea to send the waste back to them ... for the premises ...
not a good idea either to keep them!
So no, let's keep the waste with us !!
And would we all radiate to the heart ?!

Personally, I much prefer a reasoned and (fairly well) known risk of leaks from underground storage ... than a completely unreasonable and unknown terrorist risk of a dirty bomb !!

But that's just my opinion...

I maintain, having lived there, that the sovereignty of our former colonies is entirely relative ...

That the "poor" countries do not weigh much on the geopolitical chessboard (so yes, China behaves like a neo-colonialist in several African countries, after having "offered" them big stadiums, highways, or other infrastructures) ... Find out and open your eyes a little.

And finally, the idea of ​​returning the nuclear waste, which has been our choice, made for our benefit, disgusts me ... You do not want, as long as you are there, send them back the skins of lemons after to have pressed them? But, after all, everyone has their own ethics. And after all, our old computers are already ending up there. After all, our old asbestos ships are dismantled off the Bengla Desh. Once the - first - milestones are crossed, there are no more limits!

Completely agree It is we who took advantage of this fuel. As for the storage of 100 years, it seems a little fair to me especially since the half-life of plutonium is 000 years, so in 24000 years it will be only 100 times less radioactive. Rather, we must speak of millions of years.
The hole of bure is located at the source of tributaries of the Seine and in 1 million years what will happen? They plan to bury it in a layer of clay which is mixed with other permeable materials.
I was shown an edifying geological study on this subject.

Chernobyl was not a dirty bomb, just a handling error.
to avoid confusion I am not for such or such a solution, moreover there is none, and actually sending back would not answer the problem any more.

Okay. I prefer that ! I thought I understood that you were to swing the skins of nuclear pressed lemons on them (basically, they are the ones who sent it to us; which is, geopolitically, completely false: Areva is, in the north of Niger, a state within a state; in the interest of the French nuclear industry; which, of course, does not mean that there is no certains Nigeriens who benefit: some have found a job, others baksheesh).

I think there would be much less fan of the nuclear industry if they were asked to store the waste produced for their electrical supply at the bottom of their garden.

If the electricians were a little bit honest, he would sign a contract in which each subscriber undertakes to receive such and such a quantity of nuclear waste.

And there would no longer be as many fans of heat pumps, etc.

There, we are, as is often the case in liberal economy, in a system of “false asses”, where we “take advantage” of the benefits of such a technique and we reject the question of pollution or waste on “others”, on “ politicians "who just have to find the right solutions. We may even behave like perfect schizophrenics, consuming joyfully and completely concealing these embarrassing questions: "it's not my fault!" or "my neighbor throws some more!" or "I can't do anything!"

It was my Monday morning hangover. Against anyone in particular. Or against (almost) everyone!

I'm going to immerse myself in my garden. It is more gratifying and it prevents me from becoming a misanthrope!
