The first paragraph in Muller suggests that the people don't need to worry about what the waste is going to do in 10,000 years. We need to focus on what to do with the waste now. He also thinks that the risk is basically the same as the risk if we hadn't mined the uranium in the first place. There is no significant data suggesting the cancer levels will increase depending on where the waste is, that the waste is dependent on individual dosage.
The second paragraph says why are we worried about a containment facility when the mountains are so much more dangerous. Interestingly enough, these mountains are a natural event, Colorado River has been around as long as the mountains have- supplying water all around it, and no one is worried about the off the chart levels of sickness caused by the River. Nobody reported or said anything about the waste from the river and people have been drinking the water for several hundred years. Containment of that problem would amount to dismantling the mountain range rock by rock, and moving it somewhere else.
