200 years after a nuclear exchange nature will reclaim whats left.

I’m so sorry that you understand absolutely nothing about how a nuclear power plant works... Wikipedia it your lacking essential basic facts, like for example your fisrt sentence, “ as long as humans stop the reactors prior to being wiped out....” there are so many things wrong with that statement I don’t know where to begin.

Let’s start with the biggest problem. You cannot “STOP” a fission reaction ffs! Even if you could why would humans “turn off the lights” before they’re “wiped out?! Not to mention your ass is assuming we would know the exact moment of our “wiping(?)”

As far as nuclear waste, if its already cooled enough to be buried deep under ground it’s a non issue,however fuel rods need to be keeper under a constant flow of water for decades after they’re spent.
