I love the WIPP proposals. I grew up with this - WIPP shipments go right past a place my buddy used to live and lots of the WIPP waste came from my town.

The problem with all of them is they look metal as fuck. And there's no monument you can build that will repel people - realistically speaking, Stonehenge might as well be the WIPP site circa 2200 BC.

Know what they shoulda done? Build like five of them in the middle of the Serengeti and see what the Tuareg do with them. 'cuz you know what? The VLA is less than a hundred miles away and the hunters stay the fuck away because it spooks 'em.
