I wish it were that simple. Meanwhile, in reality:

I am very confused now, you link to articles talking about storage pool issues, but I never mentioned storage pools.
I am talking about what they are doing in Finland.
They have drilled a very deep hole in the bedrock, built vaults where they will put cey casks of nuclear waste, then they will backfill the hole and tunnels with clay.
This is how you do it.
No one considers a storage pool as permanent storage.
THE WORLD IS NOT FINLAND.
Unless you're volunteering to take the world's radioactive waste, stop thinking the world is finland, jfc you're worse than an american
And yeah, storage pools WORLDWIDE are being used as defacto permanent storage. That's what you call it when you have no plan to move the shit.
gonna block you now, you're either too dense to realize there's a whole world outside your tiny country, or deliberately obtuse.
Since the start of this thread I have been advocating for building a facility here in Scandinavia to permanently store all nuclear waste globally.
At least TRY to read my posts before whining uselessly!
