Can't We Just Throw Our Nuclear Waste Down A Deep Hole?

Can’t have everything but at least it’s on DVD. The remaining Cannon and Barnaby Jones would be nice to see.

QM was a favorite since people were actually introduced up front. What was funny sometimes was a special guest star with no real anything for credits or recognizable. Maybe an inside joke? I wished I had asked Lee Merriweather when she was at DragonCon years back. It was great just to say hello and talk for a minute at the table.

I’m guessing he’s a Prince fan and does a lot of partying, or did so at the time.

A large Prince concert, I’m guessing, with with Purple rain on the Party in 1999.

FReepers should read posts with their brains fully engaged.

That is insulting. Not everyone is a fan of British TV Science Fiction from 4 decades ago. To claim our lack of that specific knowledge means we don't use our minds is pathetic.

Personally, I’ve always thought just shooting it off into the sun was a good idea. Granted, you don’t want to be around if something goes wrong with the launch, but...

Trouble is that volcano plumes move across the Earth’s surface and new ones form all the time, while long-dormant ones become active.

[Alex Murphy]

That is insulting.

"I didn't come here to be insulted!"
"No? Where do you usually go to be insulted?"

Thanks for your great contributions to the discussion.

God Bless

Here next to the Hanford Reservation they had the BWIP (basalt waste isolation project) that at the time was in competition against Yucca Mtn. They were essentially doing the deep bore hole testing but cancelled the project after they discovered an ancient fault line and the potential that if there ever was an earthquake it may have caused problems with the Columbia River.

Now their claiming the same thing at Yucca but no rivers are at risk.

Yes. Nothing like staying on-topic in a thread to make a “great contribution” to it.

[thackney]

I just accept take “Bump the Thread again” over nothing at all.

Cheers!

Can’t they keep reprocessing it until it is mostly inert?

[T-Bone Texan]

Martin Landau remains unimpressed!

[Larry Lucido]

The Newmanium?

[Gamecock]

Sounds like a job for Kramerica Industries!

At that depth, you’re so deep in the crust that the overlying rocks don’t matter. The water table doesn’t matter. The climate doesn’t matter. Human activities don’t matter.

One could make the same arguments for fraccing depths.

The US does not allow reprocessing of nuclear fuel.

It should and other countries do.
