This is brilliant. We get some cheap electricity now and then we only have to protect the radioactive waste for 4 million generations. The waste has to be stored and protected by armed guards round the clock for 92 million years. Almost as long as there has been a human race. That’s like having a mortgage you have to pay for 92 million years. And during these 92 million years you have to make sure that no terrorist blows up the radioactive material. Because if they do, a big part of the planet will be inhabitable forever. This is clearly a genius strategy.
Lunar storage. Yes fantastic. Let’s have a gigantic pile of lethal toxic waste and combine it with highly explosive rocket fuel and send it up in the atmosphere where it really can be distributed over a large population in case the rocket explodes. Great! truly Nobel price worthy thinking here.
