Years ago, there was a plan to construct a waste treatment plant, to process the waste into a stable glass.

That's CORRECT!!! There was a plan to construct a waste treatment plant to process the waste into stable borosilicate glass logs.

I wonder why that didn't happen. I wonder who killed that project.

The people that killed it were the anti-nuke "environmentalists".

They didn't want ANY MORE money being spent on nuclear weapons.

They don't want the radioactive waste problem at Hanford solved; because if it is, they can't complain about how the nuclear waste problem is so intractable and unsolvable.

Yes - let's all have a round of applause for the anti-nuke "environmentalists" who take HYPOCRISY to new heights.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
