Waste. Watch the whole thing though. They talk about what happened with Yankee, the Fed payouts to utilities for not taking the wast (which goes up into the billions — double digits soon), Yucca Mountain, and the European towns looking to attract nuclear was sites for money and jobs.

Can’t they just use an abandoned mine to store this waste? There are salt mines which are miles deep. One such mine could easily fit 70 thousand tons of nuclear waste, or even popcorn (volume wise). Soil would provide perfect protection from radiation topside, and a thin concrete cover would prevent ground water from mixing with the waste.
