    I literally included a link to a video that talks about one in my comment. You can’t just make shit up that is already answered in the comment you’re responding to.

      Please name just one long term storage for highly radioactive waste. While you will fail at that, a second task: try to imagine a facility, that is able to store something safely for 1 Million years. If you can, you are not trying hard enough.

        Dude, scroll up! I literally started all this by giving you a video about one! You’re ignorant ass assuming you’re right, and ignoring what is already provided, doesn’t mean that you’re actually correct.

        try to imagine a facility, that is able to store something safely for 1 Million years. If you can, you are not trying hard enough.

        The earth has already literally been doing this. There’s tons of radioactive material under the ground. In fact, there’s literally a naturally occurring nuclear reactor that is safe underground. Here’s an article that gives some visual representation of all the nuclear waste, and how little volume it takes up. It’s just a matter of logistics to get it underground. In Finland, that’s not too hard, because it’s small. The US had plans for a solution, but it was logistically challenging to transport it all to one site from all over the US. Local storage makes more sense, and there’s plenty of ways to do it. However, the casks are perfectly safe and there’s no rush for a permanent solution for a few centuries probably, at this rate.

          You can’t even name one, you just link to a bad researched video.

          How do you know there isn’t an ice age in 100.000 years that completly changes the geological structure at those chosen points?

          How do you know their copper tanks will last as long as calculated?

          It is a silly long time you want to store highly radioactive material and you have to garantee that it won’t touch any water sources. That is impossible to proove - everything else is wishfull thinking or targeted propaganda.
