I guessed you meant the containment of nuclear waste, since that's the only real 'problem' with nuclear power. You are aware we can completely shut down and empty a reactor, right? We don't just say "Oh geez Bob, that reactor looks unsafe, maybe we should take it offline and just wait till whatever fissionable material in there breaks containment"
Everything erodes. Welcome to a universe where entropy is the main player. A player that nobody can beat.
No, tard, the ones we are STILL USING. They are going to stretch them to 70 years of use when they were built for 40. Materials science has changed drastically in the last 40 years. They weren't built with the good stuff.
But keep posting about nuclear waste, numbnuts. Maybe someone won't realize we still use most of them for power and that we just have them to produce nuclear waste. Jesus.
