Vitrified waste is, despite naive assumptions, porous

  Er, but it's still vitrified and stable as a glassy material that's less prone to leaching fission products into any water right? As far as I understand it, the whole point of vitrifying it is to trap anything and everything aside from Xenon and Tritium into the vitrified end product.

    Momentarily, yes. Longer term, no.
