Now there are 1000's of kms^2 out there, what's the problem with using a few for storing nuclear waste.
In fact we could store it for other countries too. Of course we would require a fee for doing this.
If you think about it we could mine the UO2 (pitchblende) process it into fuel rods, lease the rods to the end user, except them back for storage or reprocessing, at a fee.
This way we would have complete control of the U from digging up to final disposal, and make money at each stage, can't think of a better business plan.
