$40 billion and more will be spent by DOE and the commercial nuclear
power industry to try to make nuclear waste to "go away"
hahaha well some have suggested a solar disposel for this stuff.the
sun is an object that requires a great deal of energy to get to.I have
always thought that a solar system escape orbit would easer but what a
waste. make this nuclear waste work for you?.recycle it into fuel but
not for use on earth.the $40 billion that will be used at yaccu
mountian could pay for thousands of EELV's.but why not dispose of this
"waste in the form of RTG's and other nuclear power devices.science

If something is good quality fuel, why not use it on Earth. If it is poor
quality fuel, the space industry probably won't want it either. Some
nuclear waste is stuff that has come in contact with nuclear fuel. Your
suggestion doesn't deal with that stuff. If someone nukes the US, we'll
have a lot of radioactive dirt to get rid of, which is a rather difficult
task.

this is why in the UK and france and japan you reprocess the
waste.the plutonium and uranium is reused as fuel or as a source for
thr RTG.s
