They stored nuclear waste in a salt mine? OMG!

But I'm not against nuclear power. Even with the increasted cancer rates, solar and wind are much more deadly - many workers die by falling off the roof.

Transuranic radioactive waste from US nuclear weapon programs is stored in WIPP. The storage rooms at the WIPP are 2,150 feet (660 m) underground in a salt formation of the Delaware Basin.
