Better Nuclear Waste Storage Plans than Yucca Mountain

Posted by michael on from the moon-still-mostly-empty dept.

NuclearRampage writes "Technology Review has an in-depth article about A New Vision for Nuclear Waste based on the premise that 'storing nuclear waste underground at Yucca Mountain for 100,000 years is a terrible idea.' The article looks at the current DOE plans for Yucca, its shortcomings and what temporary solutions we have to use while a better permanent plan is formulated."

    we'll have genetically engineered winged monkeys who will fly all our nuclear waste into outer space.

    Those won't work, the wings are useless in space. We have to wait for the genetically engineered monkeys with liquid oxygen and fuel tanks. That'll be another few hundred years.
