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.

Some of the more cosmopolitan Tuareg may take them out with rock and roll and motorcycles, or go play a show in the spike town. I agree they are MAF.

One thing that came to mind when I was reading this article was the Hartford in Washington State. It's a major risk to wildlife having it hanging right along the Columbia River. They clearly need to learn a thing or two about nuclear semiotics too, based on a quick google image search:

Hanford and their three-eyed fish?

That's okay. See the sign on the right?

We grew up with those all the fuck over the place. Know what they mean, practically speaking? UXO.

I grew up near the Savannah River Site. We had them too

I think every teenager in the surrounding counties had a stolen one on his bedroom wall.
