Natural Safety Storage of Radioactive Waste

2007 
The public acceptance of an increase program of nuclear energy requires an openly and straight forward discussion, in an understandable way of the main issues against nuclear energy as: nuclear accidents, proliferation of nuclear weapons and safety storage of nuclear waste. Regarding this last issue, there are doubts concerning stability of geological sites to storage nuclear waste as well as possible leakage and migration of radioactive waste from containers, which potentially could contaminate underground aquifers. Technical explanations about safety designs of those nuclear waste storages do not convince general public because of the thousand of year half-life of the radioactive generating material from uranium fuel.
