There is no private insurance market willing to underwrite #nuclear risk in full. Not accidents, not waste, not abandonment, not war, not institutional failure, not the passage of centuries.

Uninsurable nature of #nuclear should end the debate in any system that claims to respect markets, responsibility, or realism. If a tech can't exist without forcing unborn humans to absorb its catastrophic downside, it's not a solution. It's a temporal externalisation of risk disguised as progress.
