In article , Roger Shoaf says...

The Physicists do not consider disposal/storage a problem.

Most physicists cannot tie their own shoes. This problem
will not be solved by physics, because it is primarily a
political, problem. It's an engineering problem, second.

This is one reason it (the issue of spent fuel disposal)
has not been resolved yet. The politics are taking front
seat, not the engineering issues.

Well, coke tailings from the railroad industry 100 years ago
haven't been taken care of yet, either. Nor have lead, etc.
tailings from mining. So it's definitely a political problem
that nuke power hasn't replaced coal burning despite coal's
higher pollution rate.
