Dear Scumbria: Not carrying nerve gas. Not carrying a biological plague. It also depends on where it crashes. Hey, Sea Mussels from the Mediteranian Sea were transported to the Great Lakes by one foreign ship that pumped its bilges illegally. That has affected millions of people. A nuclear waste transport ship would be built to a far higher standard than a similar oil tanker or other such vessel. Besides, all of the high level waste after reprocessing could be carried in just one container ship full of casks. It could be designed to float even with two hulls ruptured. It could be moved with a military escort and be sunk in place at the destination by filling it with concrete and burying it in bottom mud. All things are possible. But with this, we can actively control what happens until final burial. A few thousand years later, it will disperse with all the other molten rock. And you have not stated that even if it crashed, the chances that the casks would not be intact are still very low and thus can be recovered. And that does not impact the whole world. Pete
