A comment on Fukushima. Parent comment
"The time frame in question when dealing with radioactive waste ranges from 10,000 to 1,000,000 years"
As I noted below, a long half-life implies less radiation, by definition. "Infinite half-life" = "not radioactive at all".
Anyone who tries to use a long half-life as a scare tactic is either lacking in knowledge or selling something.
