No.
In fact that's probably one of the worst places to dispose of it.
Just send all them radioactive shit to the sun.
>>8203566
disposing them in israel is a infinitely better option t b h.
>>8203615
we should store it in your mum's poop receptor
the butty fat will shield the radiation
Couldn't we just ship it all to space?
>>8204027
Right now no.
It's fucking expensive.
Sometime in the future, probably.
>>8204035
We could get a big slingshot and just shoot it up that way.
>>8204053
I don't know a shit about aero spacials, but wouldn't it be dangerous to have radioactive shit flying around the earth?
>>8204086
We could wrap it up in plastic bags and if any remain in orbit around the earth we'll have the people on the international space station over it. To minimize damage of falling radioactive material we'll just shoot it up from a base on the ocean or something.

Why can't we just research into how to exploit whatever residual energy is left in the waste? I mean, the issue with the waste is that it's still radioactive and has a really long half-life, right? Would it be possible to exploit the energy in the waste?
>>8204210
I have the same question.
Why not just shoot them off into the sun?
>>8204210
>Why can't we just research into how to exploit whatever residual energy is left in the waste?
money
>I mean, the issue with the waste is that it's still radioactive and has a really long half-life, right?
it has medium half-life and we don't know any uses for it.
long half-life material can just be stored underground because it produces very little radiation, medium half-life is enough to start degrading things and killing people slowly.
>Would it be possible to exploit the energy in the waste?
you would get a triple A batteries worth out of a couple of pounds of it.
we just don't know enough about physics to make any use of it.
>>8204220
Shit, that's actually kinda depressing.
>>8204218
I know that isn't a serious question but the sun is a nuclear reactor. Putting nuclear waste into a reactor is a terrible idea. It could start a new series of chain reactions that could be unpredictable and could have devastating consequences on Earth in a few years.
>>8204220
So if i did get it, it's like trying to exploit solar energy without solar panels?
>>8204236
you are a total moron
>>8204262
Just answering a hypothetical situation. No need to get upset.
>>8204337
and your answer is completely wrong, which is why you are a moron
>>8203566
NO.
Putting it in a volcano is a horrible idea, because it'd come right back out again.
A much better way to dispose of waste is to drill into a subduction zone and put the waste there. The subduction zone will then return the waste to the mantle over geological time periods.
However, a much more fun solution is to detonate a specially shaped nuclear charge to initiate a crack in Earth's crust and fill it with 100 megatons of molten iron and nuclear waste.
Because of the shear weight of the molten iron relative to surrounding rock, once the crack is initiated, it keeps on cracking straight through the crust. Because iron's heavier than magma, it sinks when it reaches the mantle taking our radioactive waste all the way to the core in about a week. FUCK YOU GEOLOGICAL TIMESCALES!
>>8203566
The only nuclear waste problem is public perception.

>>8204866
fucking retard thinks dumping atomic waste into the sun might cause some kind of nuclear chain reaction
Do you know how big the sun is?
Do you even know what a nuclear chain reaction is?
Do you have any idea how much shit falls into the sun all the time?
You are a complete mouth-breather
The reason we can't just throw everything into the sun is that it's an enormous waste of energy.
It's literally cheaper to dump our radioactive waste on the surface of Neptune than to throw it into the sun.
Sure you could.
You could also bask in the sweet radiation after the eruption
