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!!!

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.

Scary times ahead folks, watch your spending, debt load and be cautious as we are in for a crazy 4 years.
