Well right now. 30/4 at 12:14 not that sunny today Gridwatch is
reporting 6.31 GW 16% which is a fair chunk of the UK demand..



At 12:14...

The problem with solar in the UK is that it doesn't generate power when
we need it most.

I'm still having mega problems understanding why we can't deliver
nuclear more cost effectively. It seem we should be able to do that and
keep both TNP and the global warming crowd happy. A reliable base load
give us much more scope for load balancing via smart devices.

Nobody has a viable/economic solution to dispose of the nuclear waste.

Glassify it and bury it deep its not impossible just theres a lot of FUD
on the subject..

So why is nobody doing it?

They are, and have been doing so for quite some time:

"The new melter was installed by liquid waste contractor Savannah River
Remediation (SRR). It is the third melter in the 20-year history of the
facility, and replaced Melter 2 which reached the end of its operational
life in 2017 after 14 years of operation. In that time, Melter 2 poured
10. 8 million pounds (4900 tonnes) of glass into 2819 canisters"
