Let's go nuclear

I don't really recall any serious nuclear power plant incidents since Chernobyl. And I recall that was a horrible screw-up that would never happen again (just like Three Mile Island would never happen again with current technology and regulations). So basically, waste deposit is the only serious problem that needs tackling. Well, here's a good idea:
Wildlife is thriving in Chernobyl, so let's dump it in the rain forests, says British scientist and environmentalist James Lovelock:
"I have wondered if the small volumes of nuclear waste from power production should be stored in tropical forests and other habitats in need of a reliable guardian against their destruction by greedy developers".
Not a bad idea at all. Bye-bye nuclear waste, bye-bye deforestation. Where can we sign up?
