More seriously, there are a wide range of problems associated with long term waste storage, from known knowns to unknown unknowns. Some of the risks can't even be reasonably anticipated.
- admax88qqq 5y agoYou can claim unknown unknowns for literally anything and claim it's high risk as a result. There are unknown unknowns about 5G, therefore it's too risky to build and use.
- nicoburns 5y agoEven they were storing large volumes of waste, then I assume they'd be non-trivial risk during the transport before the waste was buried.
- raxxorrax 5y agoThe most obvious danger is ground water contamination. That already happened at some locations where mines where used as a temporary storage. Some have to be salvaged which will cost billions.
