    I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.

      That’s the joke, everyone is scared of a hypothetical non-viable fear and they completely ignore the current reality.

        US Navy reactors are run by 18-year-olds supervised by 25-year-olds so far pretty good track record.
