As already explained in #1230: whether it is 20,000 tons as it is now or 50,000 tons (numbers guessed) of highly radioactive waste, it basically doesn’t matter anymore.

Thorium nuclear power plants or fourth-generation nuclear power plants. Just deal with it without prejudice. But it is likely to fail at the latter...

Since the waste already exists, this is no longer decision-relevant. These are "sunk costs," even if many do not want to accept that. Disaster: In modern nuclear power plants, while the reactor is toast in a meltdown, it is designed so that, unlike in Chernobyl, highly radioactive material cannot be released. Moreover, neither of the two nuclear power plants would have been approved in the old FRG.

Then in 15 years, alongside the old ones, there will be four new ones standing, which continue to pollute and for a huge amount of money with frequent outages (yes, nuclear power is the most unreliable) cover something in the single-digit percentage range of our energy demand. So I don't need such a (careful pun for people from Baden) Biblis cheese.

I have already done that. What came out of it? It does not exist. So it does not help with any problem.

Well, the general public will, that’s the beauty of it. If we handle it cleverly, we can let the people in Papua New Guinea earn a bit from it. They can just sink it somewhere on an atoll. That works for packaging waste too.

When all nuclear power plants in Germany were still in operation, they covered just over 30% of the annual electricity demand. As a reliable, CO2-free, weather-independent base load.
