IMO, the waste >needs to be stored in extremely well built holding areas near each reactor. Not a bad idea. The fact is that now the waste is being stored in relatively secure areas around the reactors. It seems that the Ds think that by refusing to solve the waste problem, nukes will go away... well if that happens, there goes 20% of our electricity... and they don't want coal fired plants. We need to face the fact that they don't want us to have the energy we need. Same goes with oil, coal or any currently workable source. When renewables, wind or solar become available in a practical sense we will use them, but they seem to think that by depriving us of energy sources they don't approve of, we will develop sources they do approve of. In their arrogance, they miss the fact that science doesn't bend to their will.
