Forgot about Yucca Mountain. That place is pretty much apocalypse proof and probably the safest place in the world to keep the waste at.

Reminds me of "Fire on the mountain".
All belongs to the government.

US has a lot of nice sites for disposing waste. Europe could just pay you to handle our waste.

But I'm for stuffing the stuff into rockets, aim for Venus and pray the rocket won't explode during launch.
