Talking to the Future – Hey, There’s Nuclear Waste Buried Here!
How will "STAY OUT!" be written 5,000 years from now? We
will eventually dispose of some amount of nuclear waste in a deep
geologic repository, and with the discussion of resurrecting the Yucca
Mt. repository, the old question resurfaces of whether, and how, we
should warn future humans that nuclear waste is buried here. Putting
up 10,000-year warning signs might invite intrusion more than prevent
it. Of course, an accidental intrusion isn’t the horror one might
imagine.http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2015/04/17/talking-to-the-future-hey-theres-nuclear-waste-buried-here/
