How is spent fuel buried deep into bedrock "enormous risk"? I've read your thread and I still fail to see how this is anything but hyperbole. Even in the event of a container breach, the waste is buried under hundreds of meters of bedrock. What is the threat model for how this waste results in harm to society? Even if this uranium were somehow brought to the surface and dumped it into drinking water supplies, it would be detected. Drinking water is monitored for uranium, because naturally occurring uranium in grounder is sometimes above safe limits.
