I especially liked the one on nuclear waste storage

About the USA Yucca Mountain site.....

"We peek inside the five-mile tunnel they finished drilling 10 years ago. But it's just a tunnel; not much to see. Yucca Mountain has been under development for more than three decades. If it ever opens -- and that won't be until 2017, at the earliest -- 77,000 tons of nuclear waste will one day travel through this tunnel to their final resting places 1,000 feet below the ridgeline of the Mountain. But that's a big if. Construction has been stalled since 1997, pending regulatory approval. The outlook is bleak."

So while the progress is slow in the USA - NNRF, Inc moves solidly ahead with its nuclear waste storage.

"There is approximately 240,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel
in the world. Of that, 85,000 tones have been reprocessed
and 155,000 tons are being stored. Most are stored under
conditions that present a clear and present danger to the
environment and humans. NNRF is developing a nuclear
waste container that is impervious to leakage, particularly
in underwater environments. "
