What about inventing a solution to change the toxic waste into nontoxic waste? What else is possible?

6 leaking tanks are Hanford nuke site’s latest woe
Chicago Daily Herald
YAKIMA, Wash. — Federal and state officials say six underground tanks holding a brew of radioactive and toxic waste are leaking at the country’s most contaminated nuclear site in south-central Washington, raising concerns about delays for emptying the …

The phone calls were made to Inverhuron summer residents and landowners in January so the very people most affected did not get a chance to record their answer. As well, the sample did not exclude people who worked at OPG or their relatives, the sample was too small and contained questions weighted in favour of a “yes, we are ok with this answer.”
The biggest flaw was the small, local scope of the sample as Canadians and Americans who could be impacted by this proposal have no idea what is going on. OPG and Kincardine et al are trying to pass burying radioactive waste beside Lake Huron behind most of our backs. Why? Because it is cost effective for them and convenient!!!! Will it still be a good idea when it leaks?

If it turns out to be the best site for Canada’s high-level nuclear waste, they STILL may not want the dump as their legacy for the many generations following.
