I have had some interesting conversations with a recently retired (to FL)Air Force Colonel who spent the last years of his governmental service at the EPA working on nuclear issues. I have visited US Ecology out in Death Valley and I live in a state which has been more dependent on nuclear power than any other. I also lived in France for a brief duration was fascinated the divergence of public attitude re: nuclear powwa from US. I have been told by people who should know, that as bad as the nuclear storage problem is, it pales in comparison with the threat that chemical waste poses to US public health. Of course, while that doesn't obviate the nuclear waste problem, it does put it into some perspective. As does the tradeoff between food irradiation and the (?)harmless(?) chemical preservatives and insecticides currently used to safeguard the food supply.
