My reading of your comment was that you were piggybacking on the above:

> Build a few big underground atomic bunkers around the world and store the long term waste there until we can find a solution (or leave it there).

And your comment specifically mentioned Yucca mountain, which was indeed planned to be a big underground repository for nuclear waste, and therefore vulnerable to the same type of catastrophic failure I referred to above. Am I missing something?

I see. I should've quoted the bit I was replying to.

They said:

> Do it in the middle of a desert far away from any people. No NIMBYs, not interesting for attacks.

And I was just pointing out that building it in the middle of the desert has not proven to be a good way of avoiding opposition.
