> By a few thousand years, the most dangerous isotopes will be decayed. I wondered about this claim because it could easily be (dis-)proven by a curve. And no, it seems that the waste remains dangerous for quite a while due to actinides. See this curve: https://whatisnuclear.com/img/ingestion-radiotoxicity-nuclear-waste.png https://whatisnuclear.com/img/ingestion-radiotoxicity-nuclea... Now, people say that these actinides can be turned into non-dangerous things, which is great, but the P&T process has not been developed yet. It might turn out to be vaporware.
