    Failure: a short history of U.S. high-level nuclear waste mismanagement
    "
    "For 80 years, the U.S. gov. + its industrial + utility partners have failed to, first, understand the problem of the noxious + dangerous waste produced by the pursuit of nuclear power for war + peace and, second, to successfully respond."

    ‘Yucca Mountain is dead’: 5 other states targeted for nuclear waste hubs
    "
    "Federal officials said Tuesday that five states have been chosen as possible sites to host facilities that would accept nuclear waste from around the country — a development welcomed by Nevada elected officials who oppose using Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste dump."

  3. Hey @frederick, did you read this? I can't believe you're pro-#nuclear now. After all, you were there with me at the #Seabrook protest in 1977, and you wrote this in 2018: "When the nuclear industry demonstrates it can build safe and economic power stations and manage the #ToxicWaste they produce, there will be a role for nuclear energy. Until then, we should base our future energy policy on existing #renewable options."

    Do you have some inside information on how the nuclear industry has figured out what to do with the waste? I guess just dump it into the ocean, like #TEPCO? Or bury it in geologically unstable areas, preferably on #NativeAmerican lands (like #YuccaMountain)? Please, enlighten us!
