Into Eternity
Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storages, which are vulnerable to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and to societal changes.
In Finland the world's first permanent repository is being hewn out of solid rock -- a huge system of underground tunnels -- that must last 100,000 years as this is how long the waste remains hazardous.
