At last a politician with a set of gonads and some common sense about nuclear waste.

[Taxman]

Nevada has an unused multi-billion dollar faility designed for nuclear waste storage.

Now that Harry Reid (who, single-handedly STOPPED the facility FRom being used) is taking his dirt nap, the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository should be used!

[No name given]

Yup.

[JimRed]

Other nations reprocess nuclear waste for reuse. Why don’t WE?

[Empire_of_Liberty]

I always figured the danger was in the shipping and not storage of nuclear waste - East Palestine, Ohio, but with nuclear waste casks.

He is wanting this...

Spent fuel still contains 95% of the Uranium it was manufactured with. Uranium 235 has a half life of 700 million years. Just burying it is not a good solution. Reprocessing is the only realistic option, IMHO.

[rottndog]

Now...if you want to deal with high level waste permanently, bury it in a subduction zone on the ocean floor. This will make it completely inaccessible to humans, and will store it until it gets incinerated and dispersed safely in the Earth’s mantle.

What happened to the Yucca Mountain facility in Nevada?
