Libstick interesting idea. A hundred years worth would be as one drop of water in our oceans of the entire world.

Yes, it pretty minor. I would like to see them to start using the sun as our incinerator. Just launch nuclear waste and other harmful waste to the sun and let it burn in the suns atmosphere.

It depends on the size of the plant. Larger plants that produce more power make more waste. The waste produced by a single person using only nuclear power for a year weighs just only a handful of paperclips.

It depends entirely on the scheduled maintenance. If they don't have any scheduled maintenance during the year, it's even less than that. It also depends on the type of reactor. Anytime they do maintenance, there is a lot more contaminated waste involved, mostly contaminated protective gear. (i.e. white suits) Most of that is incinerated and a special filter absorbs the contaminants.

No. A large nuclear reactor produces 3 cubic metres (25-30 tonnes) of spent fuel each year.

I never seen nuclear waste but I here is very powerful stuff they bury in salt domes. That's kinda crazy but that's what I am thought to believe

depends how large your desk is but normally no the nuculer waste would be about a 3m by 3m.

Yes. But let's bury it in Al Gore's yard.
