Hundreds of THOUSANDS of years. I believe the half life is somethint like 300k years which the issue more than making the waste is if we dont find a way to deal with it, how can we pass that burden down for thousands of generations? Also what if there is a war or calamity and its forgotten about? Nuclear waste is not something to be as casually dismissed as OP is whether we agree with nuclear power or not.

As a science teacher, I'm always trying to come up with interesting activities that get kids to think outside the box a bit, or get them to use the content we're learning in a real way to solve a problem. How do you accomplish this as a math teacher? Do you have any really cool activities you could share?

That's awesome! Did you use an SRI model and have them figure out R0? I did a 1 lesson pandemic and it was a horrible failure! Props to you for coming up with something that cool.
