You're obviously not willing to change your mind, so this will be my last response. Googling "breeder reactor" will show you plenty of peer reviewed papers and findings from past experimental reactors that can answer your questions.

Apart from that, the point of the technology is obviously not to replace renewables, it's to

  1. Phase out coal and oil as fast as possible.
  2. Get rid of the nuclear waste we already accumulated (by turning it into energy).

Especially point 2, you are obviously and rightfully worried about nuclear waste - breeder reactors are the solution, the only one we currently know of. What else do you suggest we should do with that waste? Store it for millennia?

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
