Quote from above.:-
For nuclear waste, a simple, quick, and easy disposal method would be
to convert the waste into a glass - a technology that is well in hand
- and simply drop it into the ocean at random locations.5 No one can
claim that we don't know how to do that! With this disposal, the
waste produced by one power plant in one year would eventually cause
an average total of 0.6 fatalities, spread out over many millions of
years, by contaminating seafood. Incidentally, this disposal
technique would do no harm to ocean ecology. In fact, if all the
world's electricity were produced by nuclear power and all the waste
generated for the next hundred years were dumped in the ocean, the
radiation dose to sea animals would never be increased by as much as
1% above its present level from natural radioactivity.

So another one who has no answers to the disposal od nuclear waste.
Everything is simple to the simpleminded.

The text quoted by you is an answer to the disposal of nuclear waste.
Perhaps I'm being simpleminded, but it is much preferable to being a
complete idiot.

harry is in la-la land, with his fingers in his ears. He's been told
that glassification has been being done in the UK for 20 years but
pretends he's never heard of it.

As glass is quite stable and is not likely to be eroded or damaged
until the planet melts in 500 million years time, it could just be left
to itself. The obvious answer is indeed to put it in an ocean trench,
where over aeons it will be subducted into the mantle, to join all the
other radioactive material that's already there.


If it were actually that dangerous.

The more studies are done, the more the answer seems to be that
radiation is 100 to 1000 times less dangerous at low levels, than the
regulations imply.
