That's what I have been saying. Stuff with a half life of a few hundred
years is the problem, and a pyramid that works for 5000 years is plenty
good enough.

 
And you happen to be completely wrong, as usual. Stuff with a short half
life is a particularly horrible threat, but you don't want environment
contaminated with any of the longer lived stuff either - right out to
Iodine-129 with it's 15.7 million year half-life.
 
Only an ignorant yokel like you could fail to see it as a threat.

I think you misunderstood what he said (as usual) Bill. The kind of
exposure is also highly relevant. Most notably ingestion as opposed to
simple proximity to the source. You are aware - I assume - that different
modes of radiation (eg. alpha, beta, gamma etc.) have different
penetrative qualities and whilst lead is required to screen out some
types, others can't even make it through skin.
