Nuclear had such a wonderful, but seriously dangerous potential. The hitch: there IS no safe way to contain nuclear waste. Failure consequences are MUCH too great to shoot into space- never mind what the failure RATE might be.
And yes, every governor who's state was talked into being a dump site, wants that it gone. Of course. But they are all pregnant is the problem. My understanding is that No underground facility built 30-60 years ago is totally intact. They are leaking to a more or less degree. Trying to protect these dumps from terrorists?
Is that believable? Add it to the list of terror related activities to be afraid of. Start with your muni water system. On nukes, we are stuck in want of a big jump in containment technology.
The fact is unless you are one of the people employed to worry about this stuff...do what you have been doing with the possibility of nuke war your whole life. Just put it aside. But if anyone is in a position to help solve the basic issue, jump in! There aren't many issues more important than this. We already all test positive for radiation to a greater or lesser degree. but thats not part of this discussion.
