Stanford-led research finds small modular reactors will exacerbate challenges of highly radioactive nuclear waste

Looking forward to the response from the modular reactor manufacturers.

I am looking forward to the response from the anti-nukes who are in an uproar about 'leaking neutrons.' Who is going to clean them up, how far will the leakage go and will it permanently contaminate the are around the reactor?

   Activation shorter half-lives VS fission product long half-life greater than class C? Typical narrow focus by antis. I wonder if they included reactors like the traveling wave reactor that can burn used fuel reducing long lived waste. Again, only the data that produces a narrow negative slant. On with the bird Cuisinart’s.
   A little like the predictions of massive radiation deaths after accidents using linear non-threshold dose response models.
