Nuke waste still a problem

I’m another anti-nuke power guy who’s changed to favoring the technology–stupid though it may be because its waste stays dangerous for many years–but the waste problem remains. No one wants it and until a repository is found, there’s little point in building more plants.

UPDATE  Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards, for one, wants the waste stored near the reactor. Build a reactor, store the waste with it. He doesn’t like the proposed federal repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The site at the link, NEI Nuclear Notes, is a good resource on the whole subject.
