Citizens initiatives listen with mistrust but the situation today is different from fifty years ago the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of host rock have been studied around the world at the beginning but its agree that a final repository under good geological conditions provides a high degree of safety due to its depth and that we should take advantage of that as long as we still can get money from alls we always assume that our society will continue to develop the way it has do...

A horris an area but the tests have delivered surprising results. there is much to suggest that rust on the final repository container binds and even holds back the dangerous radio new clients thats all you. have on the market long before that i was on flex to size even though we think of it as a bad sign of containers corroding and water is approaching the wasteful and it turns out that this corrosion process can provide protective factors and is not necessarily simply a disaster there are othe...

The exact location of the repos a tree is kept secret sweden has also become cautious a trip to the storage site for low and intermediate level radioactive waste its been around for many years the final repository for highly radioactive waste will probably look similar one day. being an old home and her colleagues have set up an exhibition down here its to explain the swedish concept of visitors and alleviate fears of the final repose a trip. transparency and openness thats the operators strateg...

The geologist believes that the science is advanced enough that we can start building final storage sites. you. the computer program viewer to us will soon allow scientists to conduct safety tests in a virtual final repository class for apple knows that the longer we search for the perfect side the more critical the temporary storage above ground will become. again as it turned the end of the lifetime of an interim storage site i have to move the spent fuel elements i can leave it in the car six...

People dont really know what to believe anymore and the scientists have a hard time regaining that trust with the kind of statements they make so i think itll be a while before we get back to a place of mutual trust is going. on. trust thats something the scientists hope to get by doing well founded research and by being transparent about their results they want to find out what dangers are caused by water infiltrating into a final repository. folk amends works with highly radioactive plutonium....

Their container and come into contact with water. chemist marcus meyer is an expert in this scenario. it will inevitably occur sooner or later in our final report a tree and put it in some of them even put. do the radionuclides dissolve in the water allowing them to be transported quickly during the experiment a greenish sediment appears in the test tube can we get that we can compare the colors if we look at the precipitant id say its definitely plutonium for you. that indicates that the water ...

Percent safety but how safe is safe enough the fog is its a difficult question to answer always depends on the society in question for me its like this if we stay below the risk potential that nature gives us then thats a very good concept. so whats safe enough is certainly a good question but the actual question is shouldnt we at least move to a state the safer than the one we have now so when the small. so the nuclear waste should go underground into granite rocks for example geochemist toss a...
