Are People Retarded?

>Radiation poisoning isn't a nice way to go.
id rather burn to death

>Just shoot the shit in the sun
You ever see one of those shit cargo rockets explode? You dont want that happening to a rocket fulled with nuclear waste up in the atmosphere.

>put radioactive material in a rocket
>those never blow up and scatter debris over large areas

Use a dual fluid reactor or a molten chloride salt fast reactor

because op is a retard

dilute and dump it in the ocean.
you would have to do retarded transfer maneuvers to reach the sun.

It would take more energy to shoot a kg of nuclear waste past escape velocity and into the sun than it would have generated when it was live here on Earth. It's also, obviously, carbon-intensive to launch a rocket so you also void the environmental benefits of nuclear energy.

Shooting it out of orbit is literally a negative-value transaction in energy terms. You might as well just ask "why don't we just generate power using orbit-capable rocket engines?"

If they manage to make a fusion reactor, this waste can be used as fuel.

Because it's not an issue? Nuclear waste is actually just sitting next to the reactor in reinforced shielded concrete containers, it's totally safe if handled properly. Also the actual depleted uranium is in high demand in the military sector.

Nuclear waste pollution is a made up issue by organizations that take direct financial gain from less effective but more profitable "renewable" energy sources like wind and solar.

No it most definitely cannot. At most you can fuse up to iron. The point is irrelevant though, as we've had breeder reactors that can run on spent fuel for half a century.

Perhaps I confused the two.

>store nuclear waste in a bunker underground
>basement cracks
>nuclear waste leaks into the groundwater
>pollutes the entire ecosystem
every time

>took a bunch of spergs 10 minutes to completely justify going full nuclear energy
How retarded are you? Do you know how a nuclear reactor works, or why the current ones are safe? Or is is a magical "danger box" to you, sort of like the engine in your car or the box that makes the lights on your computer glow?
I hate low iq retards who love to have opinons on things they know little about!
"full nuclear energy" fuck, man, do a little research on the measures taken in modern reactors for safety, stop re-watching hbo chernobyl and acting like nuclear reactors are some sort of ancient evil.

Of course they can be used as for fuel rasons. You just stick liquid hydrogen in it.

Oh so we're tlaking about liquid nuclear waste? Do you know what nuclear waste is? Most of it is gloves and gowns. Seriously. If you think there's some glowing green liquid that comes out of a reactor you need to stop watching TV.

You do realise that
>Nuclear waste is HEAVY
>Rockets become less efficient with higher mass

Plus it takes around 24km/s to get these materials to the Sun. Far easier to bury it or reprocess it here on Earth.

we already launch nuclear powered space-craft.
the mars rovers were powered with radioactive cores. it's not a nuclear reactor it's different but it's still nuclear material

why not drop it here

power the rockets with the nuclear waste
problem solved

This.
