Im all about these new generation reactors that use the spent fuel from prior generation reactors. people get too scared of nuclear waste because of movies and CNN. Apparently theres a massive fusion reactor that is being built, I thought that was still all theoretical. Almost everyone around our landfill has developed some form of cancer or another. But we also have a ton of undocumented abandoned coal mines under us that were used as garbage dumps. I dont know how a statistician could identify whether its the landfill, the coalmine, the garbage in the coal mines, or the chemtrails that caused it.
