Researchers are using open-source intelligence such as satellite imagery and military parades to lift the fog surrounding the world’s nuclear stockpiles.
We’ve lost track of nuclear waste in the US. Not far from Pittsburgh they have a cleanup site where waste was once dumped. Funny thing about paper records is they deteriorate a lot faster than nuclear waste. They started the cleanup and realized there was a whole lot more than what was originally expected.
That’s the interesting thing about nuclear waste. It’s kind of easy to dispose of, you just put it somewhere safe and leave it the fuck alone until it’s not nuclear waste any more. The tricky part is the fact is the wait is a few thousand years and you need to find a way to pass the “leave this the fuck alone” message along to the descendents.

And also make sure nature leaves it the fuck alone. That one is also pretty tricky.
