To add some context (and some text for searching, like all posts need....) The Vermont power plant was decommissioned in 2014 when the greenie weenies threw a fit and nat gas was undercutting the cost to sell the electricity.
The plant was sold a couple of times but now it's being torn apart. In West Texas, where there's plenty of "red clay" (uh oh) they can semi-safely bury these radioactive bits and leave them for the thousands of years necessary to let them bleed out. Apparently it's a common thing to do. This one plant has 54 million pounds of radioactive material they're burying out there, and this isn't the first.
Anyway, Texas is the place they put stuff that makes you glow because of the ground materials. I think the Texas governor should step up and say they have to take 15 thousand illegals for every truck of radioactive waste though.

for now the caskets with the spent fuel rods will stay on site. the radioactive water will be buried in texas
What a freaking waste. Even worse dragged as scrap to the southwest.
This is why the grass roots on both left and right hate nuke power...you have to cool the spent fuel rods and keep them cool for thousands of years or you will get civilization ending dirty baums all over the globe. The 20th century ruling class has made a commitment for future generations now whether they like it or not...keep the power on forever to run the pumps or die.
No thanks, I am against nuclear power for this and the other reason that many of the plants leak to some degree.
Why bury that crap here.....
...couldn't they find some third world zhithole to dump it off as ....US Aid..
.Thus everyone pocketing the money.....

Ukraine would be a logical choice, they already have a radioactive exclusion zone.
