Radioactive waste materials is one of the primary concerns of nuclear
energy. We really do not have a
safe long term strategy on nuclear radioactive waste.

The ideal would be to get the waste into deep within the
Earth's interior. If we can get it injected into the mantle or the
liquid outer core of Earth would be ideal repository of human
radioactive waste material.

So I thinking that as we tap into volcanoes for the magma to generate
electricity, we may find, one day
a volcano with a **descending magma flow** and which
we could scientifically explore where the flow goes. And thus use that
volcano as a radioactive waste dumpsite which sends the dense
materials moving towards the direction of the center of Earth.

This future technique would also help increase the heat
of the Earth interior and thus supply us with even more
heat for electricity.

Of course we have to painstakingly make sure that the
dumpsite is a flow to the interior.

Archimedes,
With the civilian nuclear power cycle, 100% of the spent nuclear fuel
is safe after 500 odd years with the vast bulk becoming safe in less
than 60 years.

Magma in volcanoes generally goes up. It's called buoyancy.

If you choose a descending tectonic plate for a repository of the
really nasty and long lived nuclear weapons grade waste then remember
that volcanic belts often form at convergent plate boundaries.

I want solutions, not complacency and blindness of problems.

Generally goes up, but there is that odd volcano that has a "downward
escalator"
which would nicely solve all of humanmade radioactive waste and thus
create even more electricity.

Mike, you will never amount to anything in science so long as you
remain a skeptic.

Scientists are problem solvers, not naysayers.

I'll take that under advisement.~
