I remember reading an article in Technology Review a few years back that the real problem is inefficient processing of the waste. Most of low hazard that decays to harmlessness in a few years or decades. Much of the dangerous stuff can be recycled as fuel or has other uses. The remaining residue has considerably less volume and can be made into ceramic pellets that can be more easily buried. Or dropped into the Marianas trench.
OTOH those that disturb our sacred burial grounds deserve what they get.
- Alex3917 16y ago"those that disturb our sacred burial grounds deserve what they get." There's an almost universal cultural belief that blood is what sanctifies something, e.g. what Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address. So I think the real message should be: don't be the moron who sanctifies and/or hallows this ground.
