    these rocks are long terms with the consequences on humans and the environment thousands of years later.

    You bury them in concrete, done. Nuclear waste isn’t an issue and hasn’t ever been

      Yeah, just bury it and make it someone else’s problem in the future.

      I’ve seen this train of thinking somewhere. Spoiler alert, it was a bad idea.

        Nope, if you bury it in a few inches of concrete it’s literally never a problem again unless society somehow completely collapsed and all knowledge of nuclear waste is lost

        I’ve seen this train of thinking somewhere. Spoiler alert, it was a bad idea.

        I’ve seen this level of confidence from people who don’t know what they’re talking about before. Spoiler alert, it’s embarrassing for you

          Ahahahahahah! Oh the irony! Drop the smugness.

          Dude, you don’t know as much about nuclear energy as you think. But you know even less about concrete.

          if you bury it in a few inches of concrete it’s literally never a problem again

          I’m putting this one on Facebook for my civil engineer friends to laugh at. It’s going to be a riot. Concrete is pourous as hell and doesn’t last much on a grand scale. And on top of that you think a few inches is enough? This is nuclear waste, it’s not Emma Dorothy from Sunday school!

          Stop embarrassing yourself.
