      I'm pulling back hard on spending. My vehicles are weeks (300c) or months (Avalanche) from being paid off. The LLC that owns C&G got some new contracts recently and I'm going to be writing off every last thing I can. Both of us may be putting a lot of expensable miles on soon and we might find a cheap EV lease to take advantage of the situation and keep the miles off the ICE vehicles.

      All of that waste is reprocessable back into fuel again, but due to outdated regulations and fear mongering dating back to the 1970s, it is only waste because we say it is waste.  Breeder reactors can extract additional energy out of those nuclear byproducts and turn it back into useable fuel in another type of reactor.  The only reason we don't do that is because it could be used to make bomb quality isotopes.  But if WE are the ones doing it, why are we afraid we might accidentally make the bomb isotopes? The remaining radioactive material left over from those next two steps in the process, if we got out of our own way and did them, would condense the entire container seen above down to a relatively benign thimble size.

      Considering the number of folks that have had their life cut short in Hanford here due to what was supposed to be storage for life of radioactive Liquid, I would say this will fail and contaminate the earth, animals or humans in a new and destructive way. Honestly, I remember this from the news and the science behind it that it is the best way to store Nuclear waste, as a glass solid and then put it into an underground bunker like the old salt mines in the SW. SRS - Programs - Waste Solidification QUOTE: The largest radioactive waste glassification plant in the world, DWPF converts the high-level liquid nuclear waste currently stored at the Savannah River Site (SRS) into a solid glass form suitable for long-term storage and disposal. Scientists have long considered this glassification process, called “vitrification,” as the preferred option for immobilizing high-level radioactive liquids into a more stable, manageable form until a federal repository is ready.

      ummmm yeah... Deep geological disposal... Away from where humans live deeeeeep down bee-low. Away from the top soil deep in the earth's core.  Sealed in containers that wont leak, sealed in chambers that will contain the leakages, if there is a such a leakage to begin with, that themselves wont leak deeeeeeeeep down bee-low with nuclear waste that has been neutralized.   All nice things when spoken but what IS the reality and the TRUTH about this storage? Colour me just a tad skeptical.  And why? We cant seem to stop a freakin' faucet from leaking with attempts and trials and errors that span a millennia. We cant seem to stop ANY liquids from escaping their containment, again, a practice that we have tried to do spanning a millennia or two or three.   Even four and five...  So know, we wanna poison the earth from deeeep inside as we are NOT content of killing our planet from above.   My my!!!   We are quite the destructive little shytes we are!!!
