’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The results from two test burials of high-level wastes, incorporated into nepheline syenite glass and buried in contact with groundwater for 15 yr, indicate that the nuclear wastes from fuel processing for a 30 000-MW(e) nuclear power industry could be incorporated into such glass and stored beneath the water table in the waste management area of Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories without harm to the environment.
