High level burial
SloGlo:
o hail! iffen i wuz to argue pro-burial, i'd go with the vitrification process prior to burial.
MrHazmat:
Mixed with glass and in the steel canisters would pose no problem, :)
unless someone tried to dig them up, and then they would not get far. :D
But location would still have to be considered.
alphadude:
I guess its burial vs sitting above ground? well burial naturally... but where....

Opponents claim that the water table many miles away is in danger. The time period makes predictions difficult, so if you were to defend the burial of High level (Class C) material as safe what would be your argument be (again mine in one week). (No multipage thesis please)

I've got a dumb question...historically "high level waste" was considered to be spent fuel while "low level waste" was everything else. Plants have been disposing of Class C packages (filter HICs, for example), well, for as long as there has been guidance on waste class for burial, I suppose. So my question is whether you are asking about spent fuel, Class C waste or both? Thanks.

High level waste in general, not looking for rocket science. Remember Einsteins thoeries on gravity came to him in an elevator because of its motion.
