Finland has succeeded in gaining approval for a long-term nuclear waste repository, which will aim to store uranium waste for 100,000 years. 📽 Watch how the country plans to do just that ➡ fcld.ly/x13py36

Finland is heavily reliant on Russia for energy. Glad to see they are working on a nuclear energy and waste storage system. I wish the US would stop storing nuclear waste in parking lots and open Yucca Mtn.

The technology is not safe as copper corrode ans crack very fast in such conditions, and the approach has never been tested even on a lab scale. They use Cu only because it cheap.
