In this episode, Tom Isaacs gives historical insight into nuclear waste disposal barriers in the U.S. and internationally and explains how those barriers can be overcome by using both social science and hard science. He discusses the story of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Mexico, the Canadians' efforts to find a community willing to host a repository and how to move the U.S. past Yucca Mountain.
