Plan to store nuclear waste near Great Lakes proves radioactive - The Washington Post
"The 2,231-foot hole would go far below the water table and into layers of rock so ancient that they have not moved in more than 50 million years…
"The planned Deep Geological Repository is controversial in part because it would sit about a mile from the bottom of Lake Huron."
I get that people are upset about this nuclear waste facility is on the bottom of Lake Huron, but why is it important that it’s a mile from the bottom? Would two miles from the bottom be better? One hundred yards? It’s clearly not a mile under the bottom (closer to half) and a mile above the bottom wouldn’t make much sense, I get that. But a mile where, then? Which way?
