So, you are saying that a luminous watch dial, a piece of granite, etc. are MORE radioactive than a spent fuel rod??? And you expect me to believe that?
First, let me say that the whole "green" movement is apparently made up of a bunch of extremists that would have us living in caves and hunting our next meal with sticks and rocks. I was recycling, composting, and raising organic vegetables LONG before it was fashionable. I like trees, but I also like pianos and dining room tables and fine guitars. So, please don't put me in there with the "greenies."
My main objection is that after nearly 3 quarters of a CENTURY, they are still sealing nuclear waste in concrete and burying it in salt mines RATHER THAN recycling it into new fuel rods or some other peaceful use.
BTW, a close personal friend of mine was one of the engineers involved in the cleanup of Three Mile Island. He told me plenty about how much and how hot things were. IIRC, the damaged reactor was sealed in something like 20 feet of concrete. Seems a bit more "hot" than a Coleman lantern mantle.
Also, I live in reasonable proximity to several nuclear power plants. Limerick, PA, Berwick, PA, TMI in Middletown, PA, and a bit further off Indian Point. I am not out there picketing, but I still think they need to deal with the disposal problem in a realistic way.
