PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
1SG (Join to see) Bury, Push it in the Ocean, "Forget About It". Wonder Why a Once Pinko Hippy Freak, Went from Left to Right Wing and Back to Left Wing? Knowledge is Power. I've been impaled on a WWII Antipersonnel Spike/Rake. Dealt with EOD blowing Up Ordnance on the Beach Near My Office. Made My Home in Naval Housing that was once an Ammo Dump "Dad, There's a Bomb in the Softball Field, Ok I'll Call EOD". I was Born Not Far from the Dump for the Manhattan Project. Sprayed with Zinc Cadmium Sulfide as Part of Army Project LAC as a Toddler. Watched a Navy Oiler accidentally Pump a Shitload of DFM into Sinclair Inlet. Served on 2 Nuclear Cruisers. Dealt with a Lead Clean Up. Yeah We Suck as Stewards of this Planet.

Just don't send them to New Mexico! We already have WIPP.
I asked in a physics class why we couldn't just bundle up nuclear waste and send it into the sun. I missed the obvious - what if the launch fails? However, many of our space missions have been nuclear powered (like Voyagers 1 and 2, the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Packages, and the Curiosity rover) none of which are designed to return to earth What happens if the launch fails, remains a pesky question.
Technology exists which can vaporize anything. What might happen if radioactive material, like obsolete reactors is vaporized - who knows . . .
