    Senegal doesn't have to deal with their own nuclear waste

    They could pay someone else to deal with. Like Native Americans, who, living on sovereign land, aren't subject to the same regulations as the rest of us. Tribes that don't have the wherewithal to build casinos are finding it fairly lucrative to use their own lands as medical, toxic and nuclear landfills. I'm sure there's someone in Africa who's willing to get paid by Senegal to take their old nuclear fuel. Shit - pay Iran, they could make an atomic bomb out of it.
