They have five nuclear reactors.

And they said, hey, the whole operational life of these things, and we'll get to operational life of the whole reactor site because, you know, you can't make those go forever either.

You've got to shut those things down eventually.

But Finland can take care of all their business.

They said 120 years or so to fill that thing completely.

It'll last 100,000 years.

And after 100,000 years, the idea is that it's no longer radioactively dangerous.

Yeah, I wonder if they just said, I don't know, 100,000 years sounds like a long time.

Just put that down.

You know what I bet they do is they say, how many years in the future do you think people no longer care about their future family line?

That's like 100,000 years?

Yeah, that's great.

Put that down.

All right, so we should talk a little bit about other kinds of nuclear waste.

We were talking about the high-level waste, again, the most problematic, obviously.

That is just 3%, though, of total nuclear waste, but contributes 95% of the total radioactivity

More than 90% of nuclear waste is low-level.

And this is stuff that, you know, it might be like the protective clothes that you wore on site.

It's got a little radioactive dust on it, maybe some tools, maybe some disposable materials.

We have four locations in the U.S.
