“Indestructible”?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Thanks for the laugh, pal.

Pretty much, yeah
And these will all be built by who? Corporations? You think they want to keep things safe or keep things cheap?
Even if this silly demonstration was a good example, the enshittification will begin almost immediately.
Its why every nuclear Superfund site to this day has not been addressed. Because there is money to be made in not really doing anything.
That video is strange marketing nonsense. Running a train doesn't apply the same forces and wear-down as nature will, just ask your mother.
My momma doesn't work in hazardous materials handling, I do. So maybe your mom can ask me?
so a train will be less terrible than to be stored in seismically inactive rock?
yes, see: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/17134894
When you run a test, you want to minimize variables and keep as many things constant as possible between tests if you want to prove something.
Amazingly there are not a lot of constants between seismically inactive rock and a fucking train
Impervious to absolutely anything, except a little helium, or slightly salty air.
Or budget cuts, corrupt management, lazy employees, bad training etc...
And the “seismically inactive geology” that somehow always funnels into a local aquifer.
