Gov't finalizes bill for interim nuclear waste storage facilities

Keep the waste in Fukushima. The rest of the country need not share this kind of burden.

Well it had to be done I guess. I'm assuming they're talking about the billions of gallons of water. My question is: is this really going to have been worth all the money to store when it could plausibly be dumped in the ocean? I know it sucks from an environmental standpoint, but wasting all that material on the containers and what not can't be good for the environment, either.

Hauling low level nuclear waste around in trucks is a really bad idea because they leave behind a plume of low level nuclear waste dust to enter directly into the lungs of waste workers and drivers and riders behind the truck. The total damage is lessened by leaving it near to where it was gathered.

It is after all an interim storage. Therefore, a true and final disposition must be found. Otherwise it will be thousands of years.

Given the trillions of Yen being spent, why not take one of the space rockets and send it to the Sun. (If that is possible and will not affect the balance in the Universe.)

May be for less money, why not return the radio active material to earth by pouring it into one the active volcano now erupting, and have the hot lava consume it. (That is if that is possible and will remove the radioactivity.)

Amazing... with all that research all over the world, no one has found a way to take away the radioactivity. Taking radioactivity away or neutralizing it will definitely be worth the Nobel Prize. Or... for all we know... may be they do have the answer... and it may be too dangerous like a matter-antimatter fusion/explosion.
