One question: Has anyone ever determined what effect, if any, pressure and heat have on the decay rate of isotopes? Rock buried under tons of other rock is going to endure great pressure and very high temperatures.
NUCLEAR HALF-LIFE MODIFICATION TECHNOLOGY
GDR GREEN NEWSLETTER 001
“..
Radioactive isotope half-lives can be decreased to neutralize nuclear waste and weapons. This phenomenon can be accomplished by using equipment available since the late 1800’s and this technique has been known for the past 40 years. Incorporating this technique can result in vast financial savings, solve the current insurmountable environmental problems of radioactive waste storage and ensure this planet a future free from the threat of deadly nuclear radiation contamination.
........”
he goes on to say,
“...Many renowned scientists may find this half-life modification statement beyond all reason. This I have been told many times by many PhDs over the past 40 years. The Secretary of Energy announced, as was reported April 9, 2003 in the Los Angeles Times, that the DOE Secretary knew of no other way of disposing of the nuclear waste other than burying it at Yucca Mountain (and like sites)....”
his colleagues do not like the implication.

Simple answer - NO. They would need scientific instruments that could endure heat that would melt steel and pressure that would crumble skyscrapers [que Rosie O’Donell!].
Heat in several thousands of degrees and pressure in tens of thousands of PSI.
