> The laws of physics remain the same, Yes, this means the half lives are still the same, and the original claim was patently nonsense. > however the ability to reduce waste half lives by reusing spent fuel rods has changed, This is also patently false. The advances in nuclear reprocessing only mean that spent fuel rods can be refined and reused, so that the resulting nuclear waste has fewer material with eternal half lives. Still the shortest half lives of the remaining materials still span thousands of years, which in humanity's time scale means they are eternal. > so we don’t need to store waste for ten thousand years. The thing is, you still do. The shortest half lives are tens of thousands of years. Those are the shortest ones. material with longer half lives still exist in spent nuclear fuel, but with lower concentrations. What leads you to believe they don't exist?
