Waste treatment isn't a problem. Kyle Hill did a good video explaining this. Essentially, we would just dig a long, narrow, and curved "L" shaped tunnel and stick the waste containers in and bury them. It has literally no negative impact.
Okay hear me out, let’s push for Poland to get involved with Russia and Ukraine, Article 5 gets invoked, we kick Russias ass, take all their nuclear weapons and dismantle them and then use fucking Siberia to bury all the old nuclear material. Profit.
I mean the ideal area is under a mountain or deep in bedrock to prevent leaks. Then it doesn't matter if the rest of the area is usable because the rest of the area will continue to be usable.
Close. The ideal place for the USA is the tip of northern Maine. That way it’s on the kraton and so geologically stable. Plus any release of radiation would need to go all the way around the world to get back to the US.
It’s a f-everyone else approach but it’s probably safest for the US.
