we tried to, then the state we were gonna stick it all in said "eh maybe we don’t want to the country’s home for spent fuel, considering how it will stay hot for tens of thousands of years.

things can be demonstrated by math, wdym?
it has a larger complexity, and more variables to calculate, but overall 1+1 is known to be 2, you don’t need the calculator to demonstrate that
