Back to Earth, and during the great coal industry days, massive slag heaps appeared, then years later that useless side product was found very useful in the building industry. The same went for all the millions of tons of power station residue accumulated over the years. Back in the 90s, it became a very useful and sought after commodity. My own personal feelings on the toxic waste is that it will be useful one day, and maybe 100(s) of years hence, or even less. We are a remarkably resourceful species, especially where dumping then recycling is concerned, and I don`t see nuclear waste as being any different. As to the new power stations, I don`t know where the info`s come regarding a 30 year life, but the first nuclear power station in the world, Calder Hall, (British) ran for 47 years, until 2003!
