Quite a bit. Most people haven't memorized money laundering laws.
And unlike the jobs you mentioned, this kind of "financial courier" job leaves an electronic trail a mile wide to the "payment agent", with little to no chance of escaping arrest, trial and jail time. It's something only really clueless people would sign up for, and yes, they get duped into it.
Unfortunately, "burning" Pu and Am just turns one kind of problem ("radioactive, but chemically relatively inert heavy metal") into multiple problems ("mix of fission products with highly variable chemical properties and half lifes"). And since you can't burn 100% of the initial Pu and Am, you'll still have to deal with the original problem.
What we need is the "minimum binding energy" reactor that uses any atom (except for iron) as a fuel and produces stable iron isotopes as waste.
Oh, the I-129 will stick around, with a half-life of just below 16 million years.
And then no one knows how to use the thing when they actually have to.
It means that the stuff needs to be stored safely and away from the biosphere for about one thousand years. That's still several human lifetimes.

And that doesn't include "medium-lived" fission products like Cs-137 and its buddy Sr-90, both of which have half-lives of about 30 years.
It's radiation from the decay of Cs-137, and "what's left" is stated in Bq.
ANd clearly rem or Sv is more appropriate as what matters is the effect on living tissue (human, that is).
You can measure the Bq count, but any figure in mSv is eyeballed at best since you need to make lots and lots of assumptions (e.g. how long does the isotope usually stay in the body, etc).
Should you happen to eat 1kg of pork with 10000 Bq/kg, your estimated radiation dosage is 0.13 mSv. That is quite a bit of radiation and comparable to a thorax x-ray.
Further, the amounts in these boar are really not large at all.
The normal amount of Cs-137 in wild boar is, for all intents and purposes, zero. Any amount above that is more than there should be.
However, the world owes them keeping its radioactive cesium out of the biosphere (and out of the wild boars), and failed.
Also, international and German law regulates compensation for damages caused by nuclear
Yes, there are zero predators in Germanys forests, except for martens, weasels, badgers, foxes, wild cats, birds of prey, etc.
What you meant was probably "There are no predators that prey on wild boars and larger species of deer."
Wild boar absofrickenlutely love human habitation.
That's kinda like advocating playing the lottery because even a single ticket could win millions.
