“Today we stock containers of waste because currently scientists don't know how to reduce or eliminate the toxicity, but maybe in 100 years perhaps scientists will... Nuclear waste is an enormously difficult political problem which to date no country has solved. If France is unable to solve this issue, then I do not see how we can continue our nuclear program.” --- Claude Mandil
