The material to be stored there is “Low-level radioactive waste includes contaminated building materials, soils, and operational equipment (for example, protective shoe covers, clothing, rags, mops, equipment and tools).” So nothing from inside the reactor.
It’s already being stored there in a less secure way.
Yes we need to double check that things are done properly, but it’s nothing that shocks me.

“The dump will be operated for 50 years by CNL, which will be responsible for monitoring the site for the next 500 years. ”
Well, nothing to worry about then!

I’m not saying there’s nothing to be concerned about, but it isn’t dramatic.
Plus, most of its already there, so this is an improvement.
