  You’re telling me humanity will able to manage nuclear waste for hundreds to thousands of years

  You put it in a hole, done. Humanity is capable of that, for sure

  It’s not even a solved problem how to communicate danger with signs

  We won’t ever know if it is/can be, due to not ever knowing what future societiesoght perceive. We’re doing our best, and can rightfully assume even a fully wiped humanity will learn to stay away from things with our warning symbols on them after a few die from radiation, if that even occurs

  You can also pour shit tons of concrete and other stuff around it to make it clear even without signs that something you do not want is in here

    Looking at the discussion where this hole should be doesn’t give me confidence. Everyone wants long term storage, but no one wants it near themselves.

    We’re producing nuclear waste for half a decade and there’s still no long term storage location. The generation who created this early waste is currently dying away and I don’t think the generation after wants to deal with the problem either.

      Because of fear mongering, it is not dangerous to stick it in a hole and be done with it

      The generation who created this early waste is currently dying away and I don’t think the generation after wants to deal with the problem either

      Its not a problem
