      I did not know the answer so I looked it up. Fiberglass is hard to recycle and it isn’t done much. A lot of nuclear “waste” is actually spent fuel which can be reprocessed and used again.

      Obviously it would be better to improve recycling of fiberglass but as it stands today, nuclear waste might be recycled more often than fiberglass…

      But disposal/storage of waste is baked in to the cost of nuclear. The economics of solar and wind don’t include those which is why we have windmill trash heaps
