Soon (within 300 years) - electric shortage everywhere, because the plastic insulation becomes mold substrate - all gaskets, rubber gloves, insulation, polymer-based O-rings slowly disperse - plastic-based paint is digested from surfaces So we need a lot of new materials... but at least Nature stood up as our garbage man and does the work instead of us

"liquid metal sodium as the reactor coolant" as a chemical engineer, I stopped reading here.

Any large-scale industrial technology utilizing metal sodium means grave danger to its environment: one drop of water OR one molecule of oxygen turns it into flames and/or hydrogen.

Again: if this material start to burn, cannot be put out with water: that would cause hydrogen explosion.

If you combine that with radioactivity, you get a nightmare situation really soon: unstoppable radioactive fire.

PLEASE, NO.

1. pull out carbon from the crust
2. take its chemical energy from it
3. use huge amount of taxpayers' money to pump the CO2 back to the crust (do not forget handling+safety costs forever)
4. Profit!! for the old energy companies, everyone else just sucks

TL DR: do not pull out carbon from the crust, that will cause excessive damage and huge problems up here.

we are pulling out huge amount of carbon out of Earth's crust, and release to the atmosphere.
Am I the only person who feels this extremely stupid?

"Controversial" is an understatement.
According to EU Council's press release, "the elections were neither free nor fair".

In plain English in Belarus there is a bloody dictatorship by Lukashenka for at least 15 years.
The only real supporter is Putin, who practically does almost the same.

as family name comes first in Hungarian. Lajos Diosi is OK.

The most dreadful when a hacked-together quick-n-dirty scripting tool pretends to be a real language, then picked up and praised by amateurs, because... it is fast to trow together something in it.
When a language is not statically typed, all hopes are lost: no larger system can be reliably built upon sand.

Python: when control gets to a location, and turns out no such property exists on an object? So you have to test all branches to prove a minimum correctness? Seriously, are we in the 80's like with BASIC?
Bash: when a single space within a directory name diverts your script to execute the command-line parameters by default... worst decision of all times
Perl: you got no built-in support for switch-case, but you have the freedom to pick among *17 different switch-case implementations* from the semi-official language repo... insane
BAT files: when you have to introduce recursive subroutines in order to process a string splitted to fields... ridiculous
PHP: once it seemed to be a good idea to throw together C functions into a script, but strictly without any planning which would take more than 1 minute...
cmake: when they decided the order of function arguments by tossing a coin...

my god, I have to use all of these stinking piles of bad ideas daily...

- Reprocessing it instead of dumping it? Tell this to US decision makers. Good luck!
- Dilute it... like in lots of water, and pump that stuff back to mines? Simply brilliant idea, Sir! How come everyone else trying to tackle this issue in the insoluble glass direction?

- Explicitly stated multiple times these were about a hypotethical manual decommissing.
- If we are talking about relative numbers, does it count? No.

No, your 300 years number (about the waste reaching natural activity levels again) is absolutely incorrect - by several orders of magnitude.

With direct disposal of the waste - no postprocessing, just dumping it, as it is done by US, the natural levels are reached only after 250,000 years!
See Composition of Spent Nuclear Fuel pp 19.

Untrue and/or not applicable, Sir.

"Transuranic wastes, sometimes called TRU, account for most of the radioactive hazard remaining in high-level waste after 1,000 years." [USNCR]

- Decay of the waste fuel mix is a complex process.
- The activity decreases by a factor of 1000...2000 during ~35,000 years.
- But the starting activity is so high (20,000 rem/hour) that ~10 rem/hour is still remains after tens of thousand years.
- By US law, you need 0.2 rem/hour surface activity to declare it "you may handle it by bare hands". By contrast, it will have so high activity that if you keep it in your hands for a few days, you will probably die from it.
- So yes, fission tech is immoral, it will hurt us even after thousand years, and your grand-grand-grand-grandchildren will blame you too, to be so neglectful.

Sources:
- US Nuclear Regulatory Comission
- Total activity of spent reactor fuel over time

...when the new reactor has to be decommissioned, say after 35 years, our descendants have to wait only 35,000 years to handle these by bare hands.
Unless there will be
- an earthquake
- a tsunami
- a serious accident within the containment or at the nearby
- a terrorist attack
- a war
- a declining of law and order (I know, it is impossible, as every well-established state lasts longer than that)

Fission technology is immoral: you enjoy the benefits now, and export the costs to the forthcoming generations.

... I am a little bit worried that those will not be transferred in the meantime. And as similar-minded fellow general said perfectly: “I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”
