They don't talk about nuclear waste highly toxic that is buried in the north east of France and that they don't know what to do with. Nuclear is good for environment temporarily, but on the long term, if we don't know how to reuse nuclear waste, it will be worse.

Would be cool if you sourced your statements like the article did. Like "we don't know what to do with it" which is a lie.

As someone in another field, well what do we do with nuclear waste?

My guess is bury it somewhere else.

Currently it's stored in nuclear waste bin, in pools in a few hangar. There is plan to store the in a geological stable hole, that we known that it won't move for a long time.

> The Nuclear Safety Authority has confirmed that the rock has not moved for several million years.

Also, I'm not in the field, i just like to inform myself before having an opinon. Too many times there is lies spread about nuclear facilities.

Some of it is recycled as Mox.

Most of it is stored underground (FAR underground) in special regions where we know that the geological makeup is highly stable
