And for how long to they have to be "safely stored"? For how long do they have to be buried without anyone digging them up? And where are we burying anyway where there is no risk of anyone digging them up intentionally or accidentally, no risk of natural phenomena interfering, no risk of the barrels breaking and nuclear waste seeping into our water? There is a reason why countries have been struggling to find these safe storage spaces for decades. I'd argue that is because there aren't any.

Just because you NIMBYs are not smart enough to figure out a solution does not mean its impossible.

Reaching for an unproven concept of "drilling really deep holes" that's barely a few years old to convince people there is no problem with long-term storage of dangerous waste we've been accumulating for decades, but sure, I'm just a NIMBY.

Drilling deep holes is a great concept for geothermal energy. One might even forego the nuclear reactor part then and just do geothermal.

I'm glad you took the time to completely not read the article that I sent you. I know you didn't read it because if you had read it, you would see that we have discovered several times over the past few billion years that nature had made its own deposits of nuclear material in the same manner as we are advising the waste to be deposited in. It's not new science. We have evidence of it occurring naturally multiple times and no issues from that. No spread of radiation from that. No inundation of groundwater from that. But yes you're correct and all the nuclear scientists are wrong clearly.

Whether it would work or not wasn't even the main point of what I said. But that doesn't matter to you anyway as your strategy to debate seems to be to call others stupid often enough until everyone else understands how smart you are. Good luck with that.

if someone gives you cited information and you refuse to read the cited information, then You're not stupid. You're willfully ignorant which is far worse. It's not dangerous waste if it's properly handled and treated and disposed of.

The architecture of the housing facilities is quite an interesting thing to look into. They're pretty safe, other than like catastrophic tectonic activity as far as I know.

I think the more interesting part is the labelling of those sites. Well, the potential ideas to mark these areas as dangerous to dig/disturb. What I've seen is that it's trying to mark them for the far future so that even if you don't know the language, it's (hopefully) obvious.
