Dry casting on site is fairly cheap.

The true cost of nuclear is the massive construction cost. We don't know how to solve that.

You need to look up how much nuclear waste is actually produced. It's a minuscule amount relative to the energy produced, and it doesn't actually need more than to be transported and then encased in concrete.

    It's not the volume of the waste that's the challenge - it's handling and storage that remain mostly unsolved.

    By unsolved I mean - not convincingly solved, and certainly not yet tested over the expected duration that material needs to be safely contained.
