re: #349 Aceofwhat?

see #332.

intensity of waste is inversely related with half-life. after 100,000 years, you can practically feed it to your dog.

i don’t understand why that doesn’t all but wrap up the question for you? it’s a valid question, but this is a valid answer. isotopes don’t just keep emitting particles for ever and ever…they sorta run out.

sorry if that sounds patronizing, but i’m having a little difficulty figuring out why you think we need to have a plan > 100,000 years…

You don’t need that..The Navy has been securing waste before I was Born..
We mixed waste with concete and poured into these huge 4” thick Stainless steel containers and sealed them..I figure in 50000 years somebody will be smart enough to put it a larger container of 4” thick super duper Stainless Steel containers..
Safety of waste is such a crap argument.. We are an advanced civilization with advanced technology.. We can do this..Safely..
