'No plan to dump N-waste overseas' (JAPAN)

[AsahinaKimi]

KYODO

The government has no plans to dispose of spent nuclear fuel in a foreign country, State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Chiaki Takahashi said following a media report about a Japan-U.S. proposal to set up a storage facility in Mongolia.

Sources said informal talks were held between Japan, the United States and Mongolia to build an international storage and disposal facility in Mongolia, but the idea didn't materialize after negotiations faltered.

1. Good ....the idea was idiotic in the first place

That's the problem with 'waste' it is so expensive and dangerous to handle.

2. I have posted this info twice, but...

It just doesn't seem to get as many recs or replies as the false article that says they are planning on dumping it in Mongolia.
