It's hard to think of a worse plan for spent nuclear fuel than burying it in an inaccessible location. There is no such problem as maintaining nuclear waste for 100,000 years. In reality, events will overtake our plans long before then. For example: * inevitable flaws in the design of the burial system may cause leakage that burial will likely make more expensive to correct than leaving the waste where it is * we will want to burn up the spent nuclear fuel in breeder reactors (which actually removes the problem, and simultaneously creates wealth) * we will find ways to clean up leaks and spills * we will find ways to prevent and cure diseases caused by radioactivity
