Do we have a solution for nuclear waste yet?

Reprocess it, salvage useful isotopes for known uses, keep a few others for research purposes, don't put it too far away because most of it could be useful in the future.

Afaik that is not an economically viable option.

France literally does that. They reprocess 96% all of their used fuel back into usable fuel and useful materials.

The number is false. You make a confusion between what could be recycled and what is actually recycled. And MOX is not a good option (expensive, 1 cycle, toxicity).

Which part? France is basically doing this already.

  • Economically it's not interesting
  • It's one cycle only
  • Waste in output is even worst and more toxic

Ah yes, economically viable like destroying the planet.

If destroying the planet weren't economically viable, no one would do it.

This has been your daily depressing fact.
