Professors at MIT have referred to the San Onofre nuclear power plant as a “Chernobyl waiting to happen”. The San Onofre nuclear power plant is full of nuclear waste and is located along the coast of southern California on “Earthquake bay.
Eventually, in 2013 the plant was shut down after a radioactive leak was discovered. Now, Orange county is left with canisters of nuclear waste with no permanent place to send them to.
If this nuclear waste does end up being transported it will likely just end up in New Mexico or Texas in disenfranchised communities lacking resources to properly store or dispose of the waste.
Nuclear plant leakage is such a common problem that when reading up on the history of different nuclear plants, Wikipedia has an “incident” page where you can view past nuclear leaks.

The decision of what to do with this nuclear waste is obviously a big one, yet ther person who decides what happens to the nuclear waste is a judge in an urban courthouse who ran unopposed in his last election.
Permanent compositories, canisters only last 200-300 years clock ticking, why should communities have to store nuclear waste when there’s no guarantee it will be moved.
