      As far as I know, for example, the US made a huge hole in the middle of the desert really deep and filled it with concrete and put some kind of monolith written in like 5 languages telling anyone in the future to not open it. I honestly can think of a lot of other ways to get rid of it rather than throwing it into the ocean with how we are in terms of the climate crisis.

        I think that project failed if I am not mistaken. Not only that, Japan doesnt have a desert to build a concrete hole in and even if they did, concrete holes are expensive.

        Dumping the waste is the most affordable option. Since it’s state sponsored, Japan could theoretically start a state run corporation which accepts nuclear waste for a fee (maybe by the ton?) which they would then “process.”

        Japan gets economic benefit, nuclear-fired nations can dispose of their waste, everybody wins…?
