Nicely done. You could make it even stronger if you fixed the science, though. Unless buried nuclear waste turning a global catastrophe into Armageddon is the point of the tale (which impression I didn't get), having the asteroid hit a waste dump is silly. Nuclear waste isn't that toxic, and is less radioactive than the found-in-nature material that went into things in the first place. Have it hit in Oklo if radioactive dust is your villain of choice, or a nuclear stockpile or something. An excellent and evocative piece. Nicely done.
