How can nuclear waste be disposed off?, Is Yucca Mountain the best option?, What about the moon?

There isn't a really good option -- I personally don't want a bunch of nuclear waste exploding the next time NASA messes up a launch. The answer is to try using the more expensive fusion (versus fission) form of producing nuclear energy; which is never going to happen.

moon is no good for dumping rubbish that will anoy the moon people
Reply:Ironically the nuclear proliferation issue stoped us from moving forward with phase 2 of our plans for nuclear energy. The plan was to do what France and Britain did with their fuel. They re-process and re-use their fuel. The next generation of plants were intended to be breeder plants that would make more fuel as they ran. Permanent storage is not really a good solution. It is at best a bandaid to the problem. We should do more but what should we do? I don't know and I have been thinking about it hard since I joined the industry in 1989.
Reply:What, we screw up earth so that gives us the right to screw up other places as well? Besides research what "Hald life is and you'll find out the effects don't last millions of years. Look at the places where there have been nuclear testing and accidents.





No, we've put enough litter and crap on this planet, we have to learn to live with the consequences of "our" actions.
Reply:Instead of asking what to do with nuclear waste, its better how to reduce the waste. This could be done, be investing more money into alternative energy-sources, such as air/solar/water energy. These are clean-energy-sources that do not produce waste. If the profit of these clean-energy-sources grow above the nuclear profits, then the nuclear energy centrals will not be needed anymore, and then there won't be much nuclear waste.
