THE FRENCH HAVE DETERMINED THE BEST DISPOSAL OF NUCLEAR WASTE IS A LONG TERM STORAGE UNDERGROUND AFTER ITS LONG TERM STUDY–WE IN THE US HAVE MADE THIS DETERMINATION SINCE THE 1980 AND HAVE BUILT THE STORAGE IN THE YUCCA MOUNTAIN NEVADA AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HI-JACKED BY BLOCKING THE USE OF IT, PREVENTING THE SOLUTION TO GROWING THE NUCLEAR ENERGY–ZERO EMISSION- DOMESTICALLY CREATED WITH MADE IN THE USA–AND YET HARRY REID (D-NV) AND THE POTUS BHO HAVE KIDNAPPED JOBS AND ENERGY INDEPENDENCE JUST SO WE THE PEOPLE ARE SLAVED TO THE MIDDLEEAST AND THE HIGH COST OF ENERGY–THE AGENDA PROCLAIMED BY THE DEMOCRATS TO MAKE ALL AMERICANS SUFFER WITH HIGHER COST

South Korea is now trying to decide what to do with its spent nuclear fuel, but French experts here say there really is only one option not only for South Korea but any country that produces used nuclear fuel -- deep underground burial of the highly radioactive material.
France's search for ways to safely manage spent nuclear fuel began in 1991, when it launched research on three methods of nuclear waste disposal, according to Audrey Guillemenet, a spokeswoman for the Meuse Haute-Marne Center of France's National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA), who met with reporters on Friday.

The possibilities included geological disposal and neutralization of toxic nuclides via separation and transformation as permanent ways to dispose of nuclear waste. The third proposed method was interim storage of high-level radioactive waste.
Guillemenet said that at least for France, 15 years of research has proven that geological disposal was the best solution. Separate research has shown that neutralization of nuclides cannot be applied to all radioactive materials and that an interim repository simply could not be a permanent solution.
She said that most of the other countries that use nuclear power, including the United States, have reached a similar conclusion.

Whether the same applies to South Korea, however, remains to be seen.
South Korea is now going through what France did more than 20 years earlier -- trying to decide how to dispose of its nuclear spent fuel - but a public debate led by the Public Engagement Commission on Spent Nuclear Fuel Management is facing stiff public controversy. It is accused of having set its policies and feigning a public debate only as a formality.
