Suppose you didn’t bury it and just stacked up heaps of those nuclear flask thingies and wrote on them “waste we didn’t know what to do with”.
Suppose this went on for several hundred years until a better solution was found, and by that time there was many thousands of those flasks.
I bet our descendents would be glad that we had left them with those rather than continuing to pump waste we didn’t know what to do with into the atmosphere.
Eh, I don’t think that aspect is a problem per se. We certainly understand now why we started to use coal and fossil fuels back then. We didn’t have the technology or knowledge for something better or the understanding of the consequences back then. It’s the same. They’ll understand.
