Yeah, a lot of people, like, the reason we mention this is we get emails every single day where people are like, you should do an episode on, like, these five things, and we've done four of the five of those.
And so I think a lot of people don't realize that, you know, we've been at this for close to 18 years, and so we have a vast repository of things.
And if you go to your podcast player, I know on Apple Podcasts there's a little button you can click at the bottom that says show all episodes.
Yeah, so...
Go forth and listen.
And in fact, we did have one from 2014 called Can Nuclear Fusion Reactors Save the World?
Yeah, that's different than this.
Anyway, lots of good back catalog episodes, so we encourage you to seek them out.
A little Googling can go a long way as well.
How many Olympic pools deep is it?

Here they bury this transuranic.

Inside a salt layer that's a couple of thousand feet below the surface.
And salt doesn't have any properties.

And water's your enemy as far as a corrosive agent with all this stuff.
But the salt is going to form a seal just sort of like that clay did around those canisters.
