Burying radioactive waste for “a million years”, the bet of a Swiss laboratory

Published on: 04/11/2022 – 18:32 The war in Ukraine has shown the risks of surface storage of radioactive waste, with the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This is enough to reinforce the international laboratory of Mont-Terri, in Switzerland, which has been multiplying scientific experiments for 25 years to ensure the safety of a future long-term storage of radioactive waste buried in depth. Landfill work could begin by 2060.
