What are some good safe ideas for nuclear waste disposal?
Why don't they just drill shafts that are a few KM deep into the ground and just dump it in there then with the last KM just fill that back in with rock?
Nuclear Waste Disposal

It's easier to make new age weaponry out of nuclear waste, waste not want not.
Building nuclear power generating stations is just a simple artifact of the new age weaponry biz.
Aiden Smith
why arent we using a conveur belt to pile everything up in tchernobyl
i mean its radioactive already and has a big closed up space
Jeremiah Scott
They already do that. In Ontario there's a controversy over what to do with nuclear waste. Ontario Power Generation wants to bury nuclear waste deep in the bedrock close the Lake Huron but a lot of people are against it. I'm for it because it's safer than transporting the waste and the chance of leakage is next to nothing.
Chase Kelly
Deep burial has its appeals, but you need a tectonically inactive area in the vadose zone.
Drinking water is the only public health obstacle at depth, but it's a big deal. Best to drill into intrusive igneous material in a remote area.
Thomas Reyes
You worded that out as if there isn't any safe way to handle nuclear waste. I swear, people who grew up with the simpsons actually belives that nuclear power plants throw waste into lakes.
Cooper Lewis
Well even Britain just pumps a lot of it out into the sea.
Michael Gomez
We should send it up the space elevator into space
Parker Price
reuse it
Nicholas Gonzalez
just leave it in a big pile in antarctica
worst case scenario we get some angry mutant penguins
Jonathan Anderson
The best course of action is to not make waste in the first place.
Elijah Thompson
No
Sebastian Davis
If so many of us were not extravagant, wasteful, greedy and lazy, we would not have needed so much power. But most people are mindless button-pushers: they can't open doors or use revolving doors to conserve energy as civilized members of society (they're little better than mindless animals, incapable of learning and maturing).
Jace Rogers
Read about Sellafield.

Don't
What we call nuclear "waste" are rods that are pretty much uranium, you just need to recycle them and use the material into new uranium rods.
Isaiah Cooper
That site generally doesn't represent nuclear plants over Britain. It could be a literal Mr Burns running it for all I know.
Gabriel Rogers
You don't Know what fission is do ya?
Nathan Hill
The fuel rods aren't depleted when they get into waste. there is still at least 85% usefull material there.
Connor Lee
>not throwing it all into a vulcano with a giant catapult
Connor Sanchez
Hahaha
Lincoln Hernandez
It's the main plant.
Gavin Collins
Recycle them.
Jaxon Edwards
IIRC we are taking people's waste into Australia in the hopes that fusion will allow us to re-use for further fuel.
Jace Gray
...
Cameron Brooks
Blow the waste up with nuclear bombs.
Charles Gutierrez
FUND IT
Gavin Hall
And no doubt Australian Green fags are going to bitch despite the majority of the Aussie outback being useless wasteland.
Andrew Allen
Wasteland that not even the abbos use.
Brandon Mitchell
Drop into oceanic trenches in heavy penetrators. Gets buried in thick, inert clay and then, eventually, taken down into the mantle.
Dominic Ross
Add the waste to concrete, make it into blocks, use those blocks to build the wall on the US/Mexico border, protesters will stay away, Mexroaches will stay away (radiation burns when trying to climb, death within days of climbing). A Win/Win all around, no need to monitor of guard, takes care of itself.
Levi Parker
No, new land is formed at trenches. You have to put the waste in subduction zones somehow if you want it to be taken to the mantle.
Aiden Campbell
I think you suffered a braino there.
Trenches are in the subduction zones. New crust forms at midocean ridges, not in the trenches.
Wyatt Cruz
Ridges. I did suffer a braino.
Thomas Martin
And to top it off, you missed trips by one.
Oliver Robinson
Hey, you did too.
Justin Gutierrez
Sealing them containers that we put in orbit around earth, until the time comes when we find some practical use for the stuff. If it sounds risky to you, we could put it in orbit around venus
Brayden Wright
evenly distribute it into global food supply to catalyze human mutation and develop biological resistance
Jason Russell
Why not launch it into the sun?
Julian Bell
the "nuclear waste" disposal issue is just stupid political bullshit
The left will intentionally fight against any solutions because they believe it will enable nuclear power
Jaxson Bennett
No, most nuclear waste is material such as Cobalt-60 and other isotopes of iron that have been activated by a neutron flux and is now radioactive.
Isaiah Morales
It's a reprocessing plant, not a power plant. And Britain doesn't just "dump it to the sea", the existence of Sellafield shows that. If some has washed into the sea, it's been by accident.
Leo Diaz
Sellafield has pipes that run out into the sea to do just that. The incidents of cancer especially leukemia in children has sky rocketed in the area.
Nathaniel Ward
>The incidents of cancer especially leukemia in children has sky rocketed in the area.
Who have you been listening to user?
nature.com
>Conclusions:
Analysis of recent data suggests that children, teenagers and young adults currently living close to Sellafield and Dounreay are not at an increased risk of developing cancer. Equally, there is no evidence of any increased cancer risk later in life among those resident in these areas at birth.
Brandon Gray
this is the best way
Alexander Stewart
So what is your explanation for the Irish sea being as radioactive as the Kara Sea where the Russians now admit they dumped old reactor cores?
Levi Torres
>It's a reprocessing plant, not a power plant.
Nobody said it was a power plant. Just that there is a huge problem with waste.
>And Britain doesn't just "dump it to the sea", the existence of Sellafield shows that. If some has washed into the sea, it's been by accident.
Uh-huh- There have just been a looong string of "accidents". In fact so many that they were forced to undertake the ultimate operation: rename it from Windscale to Sellafield.
Eli Thompson
Turn them into diamond batteries that last forever.
Christian Nguyen
>There is no such ting as variation in natural levels of radiation.
Isaiah Garcia
>Nobody said it was a power plant
It was clearly implied, look at the post further up >"doesn't represent nuclear plants"
>"It's the main plant"
>Accidents
Accidents aren't "dumping it into the sea". One is accident the other implies intent.
>rename
They are quite literally two different things, just in the same area. It's like saying they renamed Tower Bridge, "London Bridge".
Logan Wood
It's okay to be wrong once in a while.
Lincoln Price
Most "nuclear waste" is non-or-only-slightly-radioactive shit from hospitals and such.
Brayden Lewis
My sides
Benjamin Foster
Put it in cement or something and drop it into the Mariana trench
Blake Parker
Aight just so you know we're going to be using hydrogen for fusion, not radioactive shit lol.
