Nuclear waste hysteria
Is probably the biggest challenge facing nuclear power. And it all stems from the
fact that people have been misled into thinking radiation is more dangerous than it
is.

The really long-term radioactive stuff is so low-level, it's more dangerous to live in
North Dakota.

Waste disposal is easy. Reprocess the fuel and take what's left, put it in barrels
sealed with concrete and dump it in an oceanic trench. Let it subduct into the crust
and forget about it.
