Hi John, I first converted cubic metres to cubic yards and got 261,590 cubic yards. An American football field is 120 yards by 53 \large \frac13 yards (including the end zones). If you covered a football field with this radioactive waste to the height of the goal post cross bar, 10 feet, this would give you a volume of 21,333.2 cubic yards. 261,590 divided by 21,333.2 is 12.26 so you could cover 12 football fields 10 feet deep with this stuff and still have some left over.
