I would prefer to see us using renewables such as wind and solar mode effectively. Having volunteered in Ukraine and Belarus and seeing the fallout from Chernobyl, I'm not sure how much I support nuclear energy. |

I'd be more happy with the prospect once they know how to deal with the waste and spent products, they still dont know how long they can store it for underground but I suppose as long as its out of sight eh? |

"The French are currently building a nuclear fusion reactor which would produce no radioactive waste so hopefully that will be the way forward. "
If that's the one I'm thinking of, literally dozens of countries around the world contributing their experts and financial resources towards it.
At the moments it's an "experiment" to see if the science is sound.
If this facility test is successful it'll turn conventional power generation as we know it on its head.
If worked on the Chernobyl sarcophagus project and this one.
Both ground breaking projects.

Believe it not, they do
Waste management in nuclear had made huge jumps. The problem with nuclear power isn’t the waste. It’s the public perception. A couple disasters really knows how to put people off things
Nuclear could end a lot of the energy problems the world has. I know renewable is preferred. But it doesn’t fix everything right now. |

The total area that could be covered by the spent waste of every nuclear power station ever built is less that a football pitch.
Spent waste isn't the problem everyone thinks it is.

Heard of something called a nuclear battery made from waste inside a diamond or something apparently would power things like watch’s for hundreds of years |

I’m all for Nuclear power, and would rather see it used more than some renewables.
Nuclear accidents are way low, lower than Fossil fuels, Chernobyl was a faulty design exasperated by poor procedures, Fukushima was because of poor disaster planning.
France generates most of its power by Nuclear, why can’t we? |

I'd like to think we wouldn't replicate the cavalcade of incompetence that led to Chernobyl. |

There is at least 2 in operation of RBMK type reactor in Russia today but 4th is still dispute 'cos the one who blamed is denied everything even in the prison.
And it is not new that they don't really want clean pages in their politics and secrets.. |
