Nuclear Waste Should be Disposed In one of his lectures “Nuclear Waste” Richard A. Muller‚ discussing the nuclear waste problem‚ scientists’ attempts to find the solution‚ and the public’s fear around it‚ gives the audience his personal evaluation. He makes a point that since the nuclear waste is here‚ we have to store it and storing at Yucca Mountain is not the worst option‚ because the dangers of storing it there is smaller than the dangers of not doing so.
