Re: Nuclear Power

Most of it could be "burned" in breeder reactors. The higher the level of radioactivity of nuclear fuel waste, the more potential energy is still left in there. The rest should be stored in fortified and heavily shielded facilities on a military base somewhere out in the boondocks. It wouldn't take much space. Eventually, we'll have a better idea what to do with it, and we can take it out of storage and get rid of it.

It should NOT be buried irretrievably under the Earth, which is what they are looking at doing now.
