And last I checked, if we expanded into a "Nuclear only world" we'd need 9 of these things by the end of the century.

Oops. A nuclear-only world would need 0 of these repositories.

"...application, which runs tens of thousands of pages, attempts to prove that 77,000 tons of nuclear waste could be stored at Yucca Mountain without harming public health, safety, and the environment for up to a million years."

Since George W gave his blessing, why not just store it on his ranch in Crawford?
