As the debate rages over using the Yucca Mountain as a burial ground for thousands of tons of radioactive material, one researcher is looking at burying the waste on the moon. An amusing idea but it doesn't solve any of the current problems (transporting nuclear waste is dangerous, temporary storage is vulnerable to terrorists, etc.) and introduces a host of others including risks of widespread contamination if the rocket were to explode on the launchpad.
