NUCLEAR WASTE ---- Grossly Over Feared
Please note that the above chart is in log-log scales.
The widely held public view is that it will be next to impossible to safely store the large quantities of this waste which will remain highly toxic for for 100,000 years.

Firstly, the quantities are not large.
Secondly, the toxicity drops very rapidly and 99% of the risk is gone in the first 100 years.
