Re: Subduction Zone Nuclear Disposal?
If enough people believed in the God of the Bible and prayed about all this I'm sure He'd provide us a solution, but that isn't going to happen so there may not be any good solutions coming up either.
​
However, on the subject of nuclear waste, although I'm a Nevadan I have the no doubt odd point of view that since a site has been prepared to receive nuclear waste in this state, with all kinds of precautions taken, and it's in the same vicinity where so many nuclear bombs were tested in the 50s and 60s that the area is still "hot," I think bringing it here is maybe the best solution after all. The alternative is to store it in less safe places.

Re: Subduction Zone Nuclear Disposal?
Yes, but Fukushima was built near the ocean. If you think Yucca mountain is unsafe in any similar way let us know why.

Yucca Mountain Nuclear Disposal
What about the current situation of how the nuclear waste is stored? He doesn't get into that comparison for some reason.
​
Oh, and I've also wondered what with those thousands or was it just hundreds of tests in the 50s and 60s to what extent the water is already contaminated. He doesn't mention that either (I certainly wouldn't want to add to such a problem but it's funny it isn't a big part of the discussion).

Re: Subduction Zone Nuclear Disposal?
If we believed in God enough to ask Him for the solution He'd give it. Of course anything we do would involve work and study as well, that's never ignored with prayer.
​
First of course there is no perfectly safe solution, that has to be acknowledged, and certainly not if you're expecting it to last millions of years, or even thousands for that matter. What is wanted is the safest solution we can come up with. I had an email exchange with someone who knows more about it than I do, who believes Yucca is the safest solution we have. I sent him the link to the blog RAZD highlighted.
​
Well, he won't mind if I post his email:
​
Of course, This should have all been sorted out before they built the first nuclear power plant... Typical political / government planning.
​
There are over 70 reactors in the country which are storing waste in temporary, extremely vulnerable containers, mostly in moist climates.. Even if it was not already contaminated, a dry, remote desert would be better than what we have now.. The waste is supposedly going to be incased in lead- lined impermeable glass containers, so the likelihood of a fracture allowing escape of radioactivity seems pretty remote to me.. I also think the clammer over transportation is over-blown.. There would be all sorts of restrictions.. Escorts, daytime-only, routes, etc.. The military has been hauling plutonium and bombs by ground, air and sea for 60 years without any real problems. A B52 actually crashed with an A-bomb on board without a problem...
