We put it in containers that look like big hockey pucks now. Surely those hockey pucks can be made to survive an explosion.

How many of you are onboard with increased nuclear energy? It is capable of solving - BaronVonZemo - 7:43pm 2/10/19 (28) [View All]

- 100% yes - Chris94 - 12:53am 2/11/19
  - Agreed. [NT] - jakers - 9:45am 2/11/19
  - Excellent. Nuc Energy can replace gas cars by providing bountiful, low cost electricity btw. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:00am 2/11/19
    - Then, the coal powered electric cars will become nuke powered electric cars. That's a plus. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 8:18pm 2/11/19

        Explosion proof things tend to be heavy. - iairishcheeks - 8:55am 2/11/19

        Heh, yeah that was a good one. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 11:25am 2/11/19
      - Launch it from San Francisco. - BaronVonZemo - 6:11am 2/11/19
        You trying to create a nuclear shitstorm? [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 8:47am 2/11/19
        They are SO devious!!! So THAT'S why they fill their sidewalks with human feces! [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 2:52pm 2/11/19
  - you can build a quality, low-cost, very long, very high and hot wall with the waste. - und67 - 9:17pm 2/10/19
    - This is a great idea. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:35pm 2/10/19
  - Waste is not a problem. We had a plan. - Cole - 8:19pm 2/10/19
  - At least the waste ends up in a barrel, & not ejected into the environment. Seems like an advantage. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 8:15pm 2/10/19
