    1. The total volume of all nuclear waste ever produced by the entire globe is one of the smallest and easiest to manage compared to other forms, filling up less than a football field.

    I didn’t fact check all of you points, but this at least is utter nonsense. In Germany alone we currently have 130.000 m³ of nuclear waste that are stored in temporary storages. We haven’t found a permanent storage yet. 130.000 m³ is equivalent to a 360 m x 360 m square assuming it’s a meter in height. This is certainly more than a football field and this is Germany only.

    We estimate that we have about 300.000 m³ nuclear waste until 2080 because of the ongoing deconstruction of old nuclear power plants… And still we have no idea how to store the waste savely and permanently.
