Obama giving go ahead for Georgia nuke

[eppie]

And let's face it, the fuel that goes into a reactor was radioactive when it came out of the ground, so putting the waste back shouldn't be an issue, so long as it's reprocessed (cause we do have the technology to immobilize and contain the waste for 1000 years without issue).

I like this statement. Though a bit simplified, it is indeed true.

The technology to store for a thousand years without issue I don't agree with. Last thing I read about this in Nature said storage media deteriorate very quickly. I mean look at Chernobyl....they have to pour concrete over it now and then.....the radioactivity just destroys everything (so also glasses and other inorganics)
