Given the amount of hospitals and how much waste they procure, the logistics are no easier or less expensive, but it's handled anyway. We aren't exactly talking about tens or hundreds of miles of land being consumed at a time in the quest to store toxic waste, even at our current rate of consumption...and take in mind too that newer designs produce far less toxic waste than the majority of those that are operational which were built in the 70s and 80s. Or rather, they produce the same levels, but they put out much more power, so the generation of toxic waste is lessened through efficiency.That's not exactly comparable. Waste from hospitals doesn't have an alternative(has far as i know), while those from nuclear power plants do in green energy.
