This is a terrible idea

Continually creating toxic waste that lasts 100s of years and dumping it in a cave is a terrible idea. Nuclear will not solve the climate crisis, it will create its own problems. I grew up near a nuclear dump for the first 9 years of my life, and a nuclear power plant for the next 25 years. I think it did affect my health. How will this affect the environment and animals long term? And please do not use animals for testing, or as warning signals. The idea of genetically modifying cats and other animals to glow near nuclear is absolutely cruel (and animal abandonment). Do not drill into the rock to dump nuclear waste, it might create an earthquake. And the Earth is a living sentient being herself. Don't drill into her and fill her with poison.
Nuclear should NOT be done near fish frequented waters. Destroys a forest and river.
Please do NOT put a mine here. It will kill the fish and any humans and animals who eat the fish. It will pollute the water, also affecting humans and other animals.
There is a need to replace animal testing and it can be done. Ireland uses alternatives to acute lethality testing on fishes and bans the fish tests. Please do not use animal testing for environmental monitoring. Acute lethality tests are no longer allowed nor used in Ireland. Alternate sampling techniques, such as eDNA and muscle plugs, may be used if the technique meets sampling design and criteria. DNA and tissue plugs (biopsies) are humane. The number of lethal samples needs to be reduced to zero. Please switch to Non Animal Methods for all toxicology research and Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines. https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fish
