So youre burying tons of nuclear waste with a half-life of 10,000 years? How would you go about telling future generations? (http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=160)
QuoteThis place is a message? and part of a system of messages? pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor?no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here? nothing valued is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location? it increases toward a center? the center of danger is here? of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
i would bury the place under 100 feet of concrete, an tehn bury it under even more soil. plant trees an then run away
really interesting! :D
Put up a plaque that says "Archive of Hasselhoff", no one will dare open it.
I wonder if they have considered turning the ground above into a form of eden, that any culture advanced enough would not want to destroy or dig up and that any unadvanced culture would be happy to leave unsettled similarly. Im of the thought that placing markers down will only lead to trouble - it always happens that way in Star Trek. :lol:

The Germans will, and on the scale of things globally look how much trouble theyve caused in the past! :lol:

Americans are going to use George W Bushs greatest speeches burried here...
One of the big problems with storing waste is that the area selected has to be geologically stable for a very long time. The most stable place available is a
huge river valley filled with lovely clay known as the Themes...
Anyone willing to place bets on the UK government putting a few thousand tons of nuclear waste under Big Ben? :mrgreen:

naa, when the inspector asks what we do with our rubbish, I say "we dont produce any" and they say "ok then"
(if they ask about office rubish when we recycle it ;))
I had a quick look at the swedish plans it was mostly about how to store.

Scull and crossed bones could be good but decendants from members of The Order of Scull and Bones might believe they finally found the old treasure :twisted:
