I agree with you that the requirements for permanent safe storage are very high - thousands of years with no leak, besides others - but nonetheless, even with simpler requirements, Yucca - or any other georep - was not deemed safe.
- foxyv 2y agoIt wasn't so much deemed unsafe as not safe enough. Pretty much everyone involved threw up their hands and said screw it we'll store on-site which is WAY less safe than Yucca or deep bore sites. Meanwhile we have casks exploding in New Mexico which should have been buried 3 miles underground decades ago.
