US science group says it's time to start burying plutonium
(Phys.org) -- As researchers the world over continue to try to find a
way to meet the energy needs of an over populated planet, negative
consequences for choices already made continue to pile up. Global
warming that appears likely caused by the burning of fossil fuels is
one, dealing with radioactive waste from nuclear power plants (and the
decommissioning of atomic weapons) is another, perhaps more solvable
problem. Because of that, a team of scientists from the United States
has published a commentary piece in the science journal Nature,
declaring that the time has come for ceasing discussions about what to
do with plutonium waste and to simply find suitable places for it and
bury it.
