  Turning every landfill into a fission reactor is certainly one way to fix the landfill issue

  Would be cool for long term, low power devices like sensors embedded in concrete in bridges and building structures for monitoring stresses.

  On a device that gets replaced every 1-3 years? 🤔

  Who says the device are going to be replaced every 1-3 years after we solve those problems like today’s non-replacable short-lasting batteries?

      Smartphones are almost perfected now, the only “parts” that are making them obsolete after 2-3 years are batteries and operating system, both should be regulated to be changable and available for third-parties to make replacement.
