Just burn the waste

Wouldn't that like... eradiate our whole fucking atmosphere? O.o

They're talking about recycling the fuel and putting it back into the reactors. Unfortunately it's cheaper to mine fresh fuel than to reprocess used fuel ... as long as you just ignore the waste problem.

Well, any waste problem is a hell of a lot better than what we're doing to the atmosphere.

Coal should be illegal now.
