Radioactive waste snake oil salesmen we need to worry about

Deep Isolation, now backed by Bechtel Nuclear, has proposed not on-site storage, but on-site DISPOSAL! DOE has tapped Deep Isolation to look at the feasability of dumping high-level radioactive waste down holes on-site at so-called advanced reactors.
Deep Isolation is also very likely sniffing around for opportunities to carry out on-site DISPOSAL at existing old reactors in this country, and at existing old reactors overseas.
