Russia and Nuclear Waste

This website is very interesting in talking about Russia's poor habits with Nuclear material. Russia has some of the most polluted areas in the world. A couple months back I read somewhere that Russia is talking about taking other country's nuclear waste for a certain fee. That is a very bad Idea in my opinion. Why would we give nuclear waste to the most careless countries in the world.

Oddly to me this almost makes sense in a way and doesn't make sense in another. First, after seeing the poor condition that Russia is in after watching the video in class, it really seems like the country has a lot of work to do to get back on track with the modern world. In this sense, I believe that Russia should do its best to advance to where the rest of the world is today and get back on track. The other part of me believes that the economic and physical mess that Russia is in right now is to much. This is the part of me that says lets allow Russia to take in the garbage of other countries because it's already to a point where they can't catch up with western Europe and we should allow it not to advance by bringing our garbage there. Obviosuly the first answer of cleaning up Russia and advancing it sounds better, but how long will it take for this to happen and will it happen?
