He was an athiest.* Anyone who creates a false religion based on Wagnerian opera for the reasons of having a glorious mythological history for the aryan master race (the aryan race being another fiction) must actively believe that there is no such thing as a 'true religion', as a matter of first principles.

Well, actually that is kind of interesting debate. Because if we accept there are races, defined like we have for centuries, then Aryan actually should be race. However nowadays scientists have more and more concentrated to the facts, such as DNA, which is actually ruining the definition of classical races. It only depends on our point of view. Aryan being "übermensch" is totally different thing. I could also widen the discussion further, but I'm afraid it would lead to acts and accusations of racism and this is
again widely off-topic, though interesting.
Back to topic, it is true that radiation effects do reduce significantly far in far less time than thousand years, but as we aren't sure of it's long-term effects, we should be careful and store the "waste" - which has still 95% of its potential left - carefully. Japanese scientists have been studying safe ways to reuse this waste and they have made great progress.
Edit: Heh, stupid mistake fixed.
