Do you really have trouble understanding the difference between nuclear waste and regular waste?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nuclear waste doesn't really pose problems substantially different from other forms of waste. There's lots of waste that isn't good for you if you come into contact with it, and stuff that'll remain in that state for a lot longer than anything radioactive enough to be a concern is.

So, no. Gotcha.

I'm not the person you were talking to, but I agree that I don't think that they have trouble distinguishing between nuclear and non-nuclear waste.
