Note that most nuclear waste is less radioactive than fly ash from
coal-fired power stations (it's just twerps like harry that don't know
this). The rest can be stored (if its not reprocessed) in salt caverns
that have been geologically stable for millions of years already.

Salt caverns eh. *Heh Heh.
They are man made, no-one has any idea how stable they are.

Oh what an ignorant little toad it is, to be sure.

So what if they're man made. In fact such caverns are already used for
storing natural gas - under pressure. The geologists will tell you that
the salt formations have been there for millions of years. And since
it's *salt*, which dissolves in water, then you can deduce there've been
no earthquakes of any note there for eons. Otherwise water would
probably have got in.

I agree *you* may not know how stable they are.


Niether do you or anyone else.
The salt may have been there for millions of years. But not the
holes.
Ergo they are not stable.
Only a halfwit would think they might be.
But then only halfwits can't see the dangers appertaining to nuclear
power.
