quote of the day
Building a final disposal facility always faces opposition from local people. If we press ahead with our efforts to persuade residents, we will eventually find a way.

The logical place would be in the grounds of TEPCO's Fukushima plants...keep it all in one place.

For pete's sake CLEARLY the waste needs to be stored VERY close to where it is NOW, there is no other logical workable choice, there DONE
Now get on with it, this is going to be many many decades
Common sense needs to seriously start kicking in wrt to a lot of the issues with the nuke plants, waste, relocation etc. The time for screwing around has past!
