Sure, we might, but the "issue" of management of macro-scale solid radioactive waste has never been anything but nonsense. It is a completely manufactured "problem." Mix it with concrete and cast it into large bricks so that it's hard to lose and infeasible to steal, vacuum seal it in plastic wrap as a precaution against outgassing, drive it to the seaside in lead lined semi trucks and toss it off the continental shelf.
- olau 8y agoThat kind of thinking in the past has lead to toxic consumer fish close to where I live - can't remember if it's mercury or dioxin. It is actually pretty hard to come up with a solution that's going to be safe for 1000 of years. I might be wrong but I think all countries so far has opted for the solution of putting the stuff somewhere they can keep an eye on it, and possibly get it up again in case somebody figures out a use for it.
