Something to think about....or it is too late now..!

**AjayKumar.Kataram** · 25-01-08, 12:33 AM

Since the 1960s, more than 200,000 tons of spent fuel have been produced by 400 reactors in 30 countries, and every year 10,000 tons are added.

One much-debated method of nuclear waste disposal is burial. According to a submission by the Royal Society to House of Lords inquiry on nuclear waste, all countries with a nuclear waste problem are considering underground disposal as "the only viable long-term option".

However, it appears that every country that has tried to find a safe burial site has failed. Cases in point include the United States at Yucca mountain in Nevada, Germany at Gorleben and Britain in Cumbria. In these cases, the countries were faced with more geological complexities and political opposition
than expected (Edwards, 1999).
