Reply to comment by mindlessgames in Hey, can someone explain to me why we are not stending nuclear waste into space having a reliable rocket that can carry a decent amounts of cargo? I'm thinking about Falcon Heavy. One start a year would mean that US doesn't need to store anymore waste underground. by William0fBaskerville

Yeah my understanding is that by the time it's removed from the plant's holding storage it is pretty well decayed. Also spent nuclear fuel and a nuclear bomb ARE NOT the same thing.
