solution



I could not disagree more. The scientific and engineering solutions that

I have seen, for both high and low level waste are, to me, acceptable.

And I mean that including if I and my family lived near such facilities.

That is not to say there are not concerns that we can discuss and work

towards even better solutions. What is not acceptable to me are when

honest, skilled professionals spend thousands of hours and come up with

a reasonable and acceptable solution, and it is challenged with

nonsensical objections by someone whose main credentials are that they

starred in a movie about a nuclear power plant, and that challenge is

accepted by Congress and society.
