@BrikoX While I appreciate the fact that sodium cooling requires less space to build a plant than the former water-based technologies, and that it requires less human intervention to avoid an exclusion-zone-degree accident, I'm not entirely sure how will the Natrium technology reduce nuclear waste to an acceptable level, both of quantity and of safe storage conditions.
