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.

Why do you supposeglass is stable even for five thousand years?
If it were soeasy it would bebeing done.
And it isn't.
Just another half wit "academic" dismissing the problem because they
don'tknow what to do aboutit.

BTW how do you "turm nuclear waste into glass"?
