We\'d need some kind of institution to make it happen, and perhaps to watch over the waste sites too. And cash to fund it. A bequest which, overall, begins to look worryingly like Torchwood or the vision of the early nuclear scientists of a \'priesthood\' of technologists. It\’s a start.

Just a suggestion. How will we ensure that they [instructions on how to access the waste and deal with any problems] are still readable, given the mutability of language?

I keep forgetting to mention it because it ought to be so obvious. Although the Indian nuclear programme is looking to thorium-fuelled reactors now, of which there\'s perhaps 3x as much available as uranium. Oh yeah, that too.

Reserves that, at current consumption, could be gone by the end of the century - and that consumption is only going to increase.
