Should every country, that operated nuclear facilities care for its own nuclear waste?
Pros
Cons
If countries are obligated to take care of the nuclear waste they produce, then they are likely to be deterred from utilizing nuclear facilities.
Nuclear waste, if not dealt with, is extremely damaging to the environment. If countries are not made to take care of their nuclear waste then this waste may end up being damaging to the environment.
If a country operates a nuclear power plant, it gets the revenue and therefore, it should be responsible for the waste it produced.
More diversity in nuclear waste disposal solutions is unsafe.
Creating a radioactive waste repository is a huge effort, it makes sense to share the repositories, instead of each country creating its own.
The electric power, produced by the nuclear power plants is fed into a power grid, that is usually not only national limited. Therefore, the power is also used by different countries. So all the countries, that used nuclear power have to care for the waste together.
