Is Finland’s Onkalo deep repository the real solution to nuclear waste?

[Madalyn69]

Finland has found a solution

They dig deep into the rock and put the nuclear waste down and backfill with concrete

Problem solved

Think it's a little amazing that we haven't figure it out since we usually invent everything

Germany had such a thing in the 1970s, it cost billions to build. Now we’re spending more billions to recover all the nuclear waste because it is leaking into the groundwater. 🤦‍♂️👎

Damn that sucks

[Staximus]

In case you didn’t know, that’s how most countries have been doing it since they started using nuclear power. It’s not a great solution.

[Madalyn69]

I didn't know. I'm not a nuclear scientist. I don't know much about uranium and uranus

[Staximus]

Haha

[WhitneySnow]

Sounds like a great idea

[QuietRunner]

That is pretty much how it all goes. It is a solution for now.
