I doubt we'll be going there anytime soon, and it is already a site of high levels of radiation and nuclear reactions... I can't imagine that would affect it too much... The first problem is it costs $10,000 per pound to launch something into space. The second problem is rockets fail and explode and then where is all of that material going. The greenies go ape shit when NASA launches just 1 pound for nuclear material to power deep space probes.
