Tim. It seems that the question is not can we safely store this junk,
but when we will decide to allow any one of the proposed schemes to be
implemented. "we" have rammed a bung up the hole of this particular
horse, removed it's balls, and refused to feed or water it, hoping
apparently that it will eventually die. I wonder frankly if we have more
to fear from our grandchildren laughing at us for being so afraid of
nuclear power that we actually made it worse by failing to safely store
the waste when we could easily have done so, or if they will curse us
for the dark and miserable conditions that we leave them in by killing
this useful power source off.
