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.
LOL no faith if enough people stopped praying for things to go away or just fix themselves, and actually did some work and study the problems we might find a solution.
Though we do have an alternative to current nuclear power plants, that would be thorium reactors. Their downside is you cant make weapons out of the waste, and the fuel is cheap so cheap we are throwing it away as waste. So as long as we have a capitalistic, militaristic mindset it aint gonna happen on a scale we need it too.
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.
The problem is the time-scale you literally need to wait millions of years for nuclear waste to become safe, anyone saying that a particular site is gonn'a be safe to store nuclear waste for a million years is insane a million things can happen in that time.
The safest method would be to launch the waste in to the sun but to make that cost efficient we would need a space elevator.

Re: Subduction Zone Nuclear Disposal?
hence the space elevator, carbon nanotubes are strong enough to make it feasible, the only problem is we cant make them long enough.... yet, but the guy who figures that out is gonna be a billionaire the next day.
