Re: Wasting Money?
I don't see why we can't dispose of nuclear waste in deep mine shafts. All of the ones in this country are now disused and, subject to surveys to establish freedom from underground watercourses, they could be a safe resting place for nuclear waste indefinitely.Re: Wasting Money?
Pretty good program on Public Television right now about nuclear waste disposal. Apparently the problem with sending it into the Sun is the fact that occasionally rockets blow up on lift off or shortly thereafter. If it blows up on lift off or any where near Earth's gravity, it would spread radiation everywhere. Most burial or mine prospect don't pan out because of earthquake or leakage problems, and they cannot figure out how to warn off future humans from disturbing by future mining, building etc. for the ten thousand years it will take for the radiation to diminish. Our only chance is to genetically engineer a radiation resistant breed of humans. In that regard, Cockroaches are ahead of us.Re: Wasting Money?
