【27】______ inconvenient it may be for governments to publish all the facts, they have no moral excuse for not doing so, 【28】______ they think they are acting in our best interest. At least some of the facts are known, even though they are not widely reported.

It is 【32】______ in disused salt mines. It is run into fractured rock. It is buried. It is 【33】______ about in special trains. But even when dumped, it has to be kept 【34】______ by sprinklers to stop it from boiling. And the contents of the tanks are, of course, extremely corrosive. The efforts of a fracture in the tank or a failure of the cooling system would be 【35】______ .
