It is our 20th century souvenir without parallel. I propose that everyone become a custodian of a small amount and through something like our Land Titles, pass this custody on to the future. The waste would be held in a gold/platinum/etc. shrine, with associated rules and festivals for care and maintenance. This work is put forward as a tangible image of the unimaginable timescale which we face. Think of the possibilities: - The re-casting of the protective container every 200 years, (**ONE THOUSAND TIMES OR MORE**); - The founding of the Geiger Order, whose principal myth is the Deliverer who will one day reveal a simple formula which renders the waste harmless; - The black market in rental facilities; - The isotope alert imbedded in every citizen when they reach the Age of Isotopic Responsibility....
