All the wastes ever produced by US reactors would be a pile 15 ft high the size of a football field. All the materials can be safely stored in a number of geologic formations. But political fud is in the way.

As to refitting old plants. The same cost consideration goes to many structures. The technology and materials today are better. The process of any retrofit can cause unseen damage and the original materials have a design life. Getting past the endless greens FUD on a retrofit is impossible.

I think the 300 years worth of coal can be used in the future to make oil and gas and other hydrocarbons. If the CO2 is going to increase anyway, I see doing all to delay it does no harm.

California Fires Five Energy Advisers - Report
dailynews.yahoo.com

California Gov. Gray
Davis (news - web sites) has fired five energy
consultants because they had conflicts of interest
between their official duties and their personal
finances, the Los Angeles Times reported on
Saturday.

The five advisers were all involved in purchasing
energy for the state from a generator in which they
owned stock, the newspaper said.

The firings came after a top state Republican official
asked federal regulators on Wednesday to probe
possible insider trading violations in Davis' energy
team.

..........
Well it's good see Gov Davis has a good war chest for re-election. LOL
