France generates two-thirds of its electricity from nuclear power, making it the country’s dominant power source.

    Would you like to source that? ALL of the High Level nuclear Waste from the planet can be fit into a 21m cube

    https://decarbonization.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-all-the-nuclear-waste-in-the-world/

    Medium level waste and low level waste can be deposited in normal surface landfills. LLW is normaly considered non radioactive in 50 years MLW 200. Fun fact there are entire cities that are more naturally radioactive than what we consider MLW. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6709356/

    I’d like to make an edit here later on and specify the reason that we do not put it into a 21 m cube is because it would go super critical.

      This is rather disengenous given I have seen actual waste storage and it takes up way more space. All of it is not shoved in a perfect cube. It tends to be containers withing container withing containers that all are in a facitlity.
