Right... The only technical problem, how to store waste indefinitely, is only a problem because there's a larger political problem that prevents the waste from being recycled/reused. Since the political problem is highly unlikely to be resolved within a few decades, that leaves us with the technical problem of how to deal with the waste as we are currently generating/storing it.
- nickik 8y agoThere is already a place to store it in Finland that is going active soon. The is a great place that has been identified, tested and evaluated in the US. Most experts agree that it is a site that would work perfectly fine. But guess what, its insane political battles that stopped this from being used and that is still the case. Even so, without a end solution, there is no problem with storing it in a different place for a couple 100 years as it has a tiny volume.
