    I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.

      That’s the joke, everyone is scared of a hypothetical non-viable fear and they completely ignore the current reality.

      That requires someone to want to catch them and not be corrupted.

      What is this? Just 75 years of illegal waste dumping, poisoning thousands of people. And the Government made sure to help cover up and downplay the issue.

      Bribes, bribes and more bribes seem totally normal for the nuclear industry.

      Noone sane would trust these kind of people to organize safe storage for hundreds of thousands of years.

        US Navy reactors are run by 18-year-olds supervised by 25-year-olds so far pretty good track record.
