• Debate:Nuclear energy

Supporting evidence

• Michael Levi, Council on Foreign Relations Fellow for Science and Technology, "Wasted Energy", CFR.org, 4/18/06 - "Moore then attempts to rebut the common claim that nuclear waste remains dangerous for thousands of years by noting that, after 40 years, used fuel loses 99.9 percent of its radioactivity—hence, he implies, it becomes safe. But that’s beside the point, since even that reduced radioactivity still makes waste disposal difficult and costly. There is a case to be made for being less cautious about nuclear waste than our current regulations dictate, but Moore doesn’t make it."
