Nuclear waste has to be stored SOMEWHERE, until we can figure out what to do with it, recycle it, etc.
And the safest place would be in a dry place. And inside a mountain in the middle of the desert seems to me to be a good idea.
The facility itself is impressive... was expensive... and is not being utilized, how silly
Maybe I’m really uninformed... but can’t it be blasted into the farthest reaches of outer space?
Have I been watching too much sci fi?
An even better idea is inside a mountain in the desert in Harry Reid’s home state.
