 True enough, but we are talking about a particular technology 
 in physics and chemistry newsgroups.  We *know* this one has 
 political problems; the question is whether the scientific 
 basis for the plan is sound.  What I know is that research on 
 the stability of the glassified logs is ongoing -- since the 
 radioactive geochemists here are one of the groups working on it.
