Hey, Tom,
May I suggest that in order to avoid being called a hypocrite, you must explain to G&M readers what "major nuclear-waste bills" were involved in disposing of the nuclear waste from the Oklo reactor -- after all, this is our one full-length nuclear waste disposal experience, including long-lived Plutonium produced in-situ, carried out courtesy of Mother Nature....
....as I'm sure YOU KNOW FULL WELL, all these radioisotope products of fission are long gone, the only obvious tell-tale sign being the anomalously low U-235 fraction - the fuel that burned up over tens of thousands of years.
