Ha! I got that reference!

Then we chuck it in that mountain we carved out.

Yes. They're both incredibly efficient.

You see, at some point you need a shield around the reactor to actually absorb all the high energy particles released, and turn that energy into heat.

So we have to replace a few tons of shielding that's lightly radioactive every 2-6 years. That's literally a vehicle's worth of waste to power tens of thousands of homes.

See you get it!

No worries. I thought it was fun.

We've already paid for it though. That's why we built Yucca Mountain.

Also nuclear fusion has essentially zero waste.

Pay no attention to the Hezbollah operated tunnel system near the compounds lookout tower.
