If your big objection is the problem of disposal of the waste, allow me to
point out that most things that are disposed of are piled up somewhere out
of the way.  Landfills, anyone?  Granted, this ain't old newspapres we're
talking about here, but with a few exceptions, the best we can do is put
it somewhere safe and out of the way and let time take care of it.  Sure,
that kinda sucks, but that's life.  And I don't think that it's really so
unsafe as you believe.  It's rather trivial to create a structure that'll
hold the stuff for an indefinite period of time (hell, if we can contain
the reaction in  the plants, a vessel for the waste sin't so difficult).
The tricky part is the politics of it.  We find a good place, and someone
starts screamin about how unsafe the stuff is, and how dare we consider
putting it in this perfect place?  Kinda self-perpetuating, ain't it?
