The Yucca Mountain site in Nevada is not an option for storing toxic waste from nuclear power plants, said Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman on the sidelines of an international meeting to strengthen global nuclear safety after Japan's Fukushima atomic crisis.

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the issue of "storing toxic waste" was seen as the main barrier to nuclear power development.    Trucking it to distant mountains?  No, the people on the train lines didn't want it going through their towns and the states with the mountains didn't want it on their lands.   Stalemate...

Then I went to sleep for 20 years and have now awakened to see that they solved that problem nicely:  Now they just store it on-site!

No problem for them. Big problem for us.
The waste storage and disposal problem is, so far, unresolved...and the waste keeps building up day after day.
This must be addressed immediately.
