nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes
No one? My basement is available. Go right ahead and pay me and store it. I don’t want to hear a single person make this claim when I am inviting the industry to pay me for my basement.
You jest, but long term nuclear waste storage really is a problem. The public at-large tends to get all NIMBY about it. In the 1980’s, the federal government was working on a long term underground storage facility in rural Nevada, near the Nevada Test Site (aka in the middle of fucking nowhere) and of course the locals threw a giant fit and got the project shut down. As a result, spent nuclear fuel is routinely held at naval shipyards and power plants around the country without a final destination.
Not a good enough reason to not invest in nuclear power, but a problem nonetheless.
Anywhere that has the proper rock formations is a suitable long-term internment location. But as the other guy suggests, yeah you could stick it in his basement in a nuclear cask short term

I was joking?
I guess that’d work if you live in a very remote area, alone, without neighbors.
I do not. Still the offer stands.
