How Nuclear Waste is Stored
When it comes to storing nuclear waste, you can sum up attitudes in one word: NIMBY. Not in my back yard. NIMBY presents quite a dilemma because on the one hand people like the benefits (medical and energy in particular) that come from using radioactive materials; on the other hand, they want somebody somewhere else to be responsible for storing wastes.
