So now even areas that we thought were safe from mining operations are to be contaminated by reverse-mines? Is everywhere
to be turned into watseland? WE MUST STOP CREATING THE NUCLEAR WASTE IN THE FIRST PLACE. STOP. JUST STOP.
We are all relatives. Bear

Technical Announcement: U.S. Shale Formations Might Safely House Nuclear Waste Released: 7/23/2013 11:00:00 AM

| Shale and other clay-rich rock formations might offer permanent disposal solutions for spent nuclear fuel, according to a new paper by the U.S. Geological Survey. There is currently about 70,000 metric tons of this spent fuel in temporary storage across the United States.While no specific sites have been evaluated for storage potential in the United States, USGS scientists have looked at several research efforts, including projects that are underway in France, Belgium and Switzerland to confirm that shale formations in those countries are favorable for hosting nuclear waste repositories. |
