Page "Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository" Paragraph 57
from
Wikipedia
There is, in my mind, no economical reason why you would ever think of pulling it back into a potential fuel cycle.
So one could well imagine — again, it depends on what the blue-ribbon panel says — one could well imagine that for a certain classification for a certain type of waste, you don't want to have access to it anymore, so that means you could use different sites than Yucca Mountain, such as salt domes.
... whereas there would be other waste where you say it has some inherent value, let's keep it around for a hundred years, two hundred years, because there's a high likelihood we'll come back to it and want to recover that.
