This may perhaps belong in a Geology forum but here goes.
Can anyone comment on the possibility of pushing nuclear wastes into the
molten magma below Earth's crust? I believe someplace near the Mojave
desert in the US the Earth's crust is only 4 or 5 miles thick.
I'm thinking that this would:
1) Perhaps greatly dilute the waste through a huge volume of viscous fluid
2) Confine it for enormous periods of time
