>I think its time to send it to the SUN
I agree that would be a fine place to get rid of it.
But the public will not permit a rocket to be launched with tons of radioactive waste as its cargo.
Look out the outcry when a satellite is launched with a pound of fissionable material.
Had we started using breeder reactors 20 years ago, perhaps the total volume of waste would be decreasing. The economics are simple. Give the stuff to private enterprise if they build plants in California that use the nuclear 'waste' for fuel.
