    So nuclear waste / radiation does not hurt the environment?

    If that were the case, we wouldn’t store it in strongly protected containers, no?

    The logic does not make sense here, OP.

      No, it doesn’t.

      Nuclear waste won’t change any ecosystem the way that coal/oil waste induced greenhouse effect will drastically harm the planet through climate change, irreparably and irreversible forever.

      A coal plant’s chimney gases are several hundred times more radioactive and harmful than a room full of nuclear waste barrels, and we just dump them into the atmosphere.
