Don't label it, don't tell anyone where it is. Problem solved. Also don't let some asshat who works there make a treasure map for the fun of it. Fake edit: actually, let them make maps, but point it to Oak Island so everyone goes where there is nothing to be found.

The only proposal (and test site) for a nuclear waste permanent dump that I've seen (and visited) is such that there's absolutely no way to dig the stuff back up without Star Wars-level technology. The intention is to cover it with forest and that's it.

My nuclear waste disposal plan is foolproof and relies on simple human nature... Mix it up with a little soil and then stick a big sign saying "Free backfill* *use at own risk " There you go, itll be off your hands before you can say "free" and you just covered your own rear end too

Leave it on on the curb with a sign taped to it saying "Do not steal". You don't even have to disguise it, just leave it in the barrels.

Syd Midnight posted:Extremely deep boreholes. If you drill them in a subduction zone, plate tectonics will carry the waste deeper and deeper and deposit it the Earth's mantle. I suppose they don't want spent fuel rods to go away forever in case they figure out some new use for them. Most of a "spent" fuel rod is perfectly useful nuclear fuel. We've just collectively decided not to build reactors that burn it.

Near where I grew up, there was a laundromat that instead of properly treating and/or disposing of the chemicals they used, just dumped everything into the ground, causing "an astonishing toxic legacy". That was in 1990, and they're still dealing with it. EPA: ‘Astonishing Toxic Legacy’ At Former Wall Dry Cleaners Site

An automotive garage back in the late 90's where I live got caught and fined for dumping a ton of degreaser and other chemicals down the storm drain behind their building. How'd they get caught? The sensors on some guy's yacht tied up at the marina 1/2 a km away started going nuts, and they traced it back to the garage.

Lol my last job got in trouble with their dirty run off going into sewers so now they have pumps that get the nasty run off and dump it right into the lake

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Why doesn't the article name the former owners of the White Swan Cleaners and discuss how the EPA is suing them into the ground? Your questions assume that the the owners are (a) still alive and (b) have enough recoverable assets to make even the slightest dent in what the cleanup costs. If they are alive, filing criminal charges against them is probably more important than a civil suit.

You don't have to wait until the apocalypse is over for people to get poisoned by radiation because they didn't understand it. Good episode of Star Trek about it, too. OSHA: No amount of signage can compensate for human stupidity.

You're immediately interested, then it hits you with fear before teaching some really important and not so obvious stuff. Than it makes you feel like a loving rear end in a top hat moron for not knowing about it already. It's a masterpiece.
