I note that you do not know enough chemistry, apparently, to understand what fossil fuel waste is doing, so it would be a questionable exercise.
As it happens in a high technology society, no one person can understand the workings of every technology. I do read the scientific literature obsessively, and am into my third decade of doing so with a focus on energy and the environment.
I wish that you would be less interested in what you will not start than in trying to stop what you are already doing. You are, if you are living in this country, participating in the vast dumping of wastes that are killing 19,000 people per day, every day, without stop.
In general, I consider the ignorance which demands that one explain everything to people incompetent to understand any of it, or else sit without comment by mindlessly while they engage in actions that kill people now living - and many who are yet not conceived - to be ethically unpalatable.
Nuclear power was invented and designed by some of the finest minds of the twentieth century. A nuclear engineer needs to spent many years developing command of very powerful concepts, materials science, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, nuclear physics, chemistry etc. Why does anyone who made such an effort have to justify himself or herself to any person too lazy to engage these same concepts?
If you want to know about something, anything, rather than demand that someone give you a soundbite's worth of glib assurance, you could educate yourself.
That's what I did. It works. I used to be a dumb anti-nuke myself, but after thirty years, I finally understand how ignorant I was in those times.
Have a nice day tomorrow.
