Good post. I have a problem

Good post. I have a problem with one sentence though:

It's a reminder that, fifty years ago, our top nuclear scientists and engineers thought their toxic radioactive waste storage and disposal plans were safe and sound.

I really don't think they had a plan back then. It was during the fury of the cold war. Time couldn't be wasted on a waste disposal plan, just dig a hole and dump it in.
