Why everytime I hear about Mongolia I have say
KHANNNNNNNNNN
Why don’t they lobby their own government then we can ship OUR waste there instead of lobbying the USA so Japan can dispose of their nuclear waste? Stupid question, I know.
Perhaps we can outsource storage of the weapons as well. I’m sure the chinese can do that cheaper.
You know those empty shipping containers from China? We should place them in Wal-mart parking lots for people to throw their broken trash in, and ship it back to where it came from.
I will never buy a Toshiba product.
During the Cold War, they sold to the Russkies a giant multi-axial lathe that enabled them to produce submarine props that were an order of magnitude quieter that they were previously able to make.
It might be cheaper to move the repository to Japan, and move Japan to Mongolia. The Japanese certainly have an excellent start on a long-term repository at Fukushima....
Actually if you are going to store radioactive waste for a hundred thousand years, Mongolia is a pretty good choice. Nobody wants to be there to begin with, and the country is not really known for its floods and earthquakes.
