The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And that's the stuff that we can, you know, 95% of it is still uranium that we can just use again for energy.

Now, that's a whole other conversation that then, you know, we have to talk about proliferation concerns and we have to talk about ways to deal with that waste and so on.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But it's 95% of it is still uranium.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

So.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

If at any point we want to recycle it, we can.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And then the last part was truly understanding that when you look around us every single day, especially if you live like in New York City, and you walk on the street and you just stare at a sheer amount of waste that we create as a civilization every single day.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And then you think, you know, yes, most of this waste, whatever, breaks down in a couple decades, maybe in a couple hundred years.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Debatable because there's a ton of plastic waste that we're just now, you know, learning takes way longer than we anticipated.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And in the process of breaking down, it's actually going to the environment and being eaten by fish, which then goes into our bodies.

1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And all of a sudden, every single man that has been tested has plastic in their testicles.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But anyway.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Okay.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Thanks for that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

You're welcome.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

You might be the exception.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

But, you know, I guess what I'm saying is we create waste, a ton of waste, some of it toxic, some of it already causing health impacts, like plastic waste.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And yet nuclear waste, because it has the potential to be so dangerous, we've had to develop all of these very sophisticated systems to separate it and isolate it from people and the environment.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And for that reason, nuclear waste as it stands has never hurt a single person.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

Well, it's actually a simpler process.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1277: Isabelle Boemeke | The Rad Future of Nuclear Electricity

And then it also makes me think that this is how we should be approaching the waste that we create as a society.
