Finland to Bury Nuclear Waste in $4 Billion 'Graveyard'

摘要

It will be 1,380 feet under and cost roughly $4 billion to build. But Finland is banking on its most expensive 'graveyard' to address its most pressing issue: what to do with the 5,500 tonnes of nuclear waste? The tiny island of Olkiluoto, already home to one of Finland's two nuclear plants, will be the burial ground for all the nuclear waste in a tunnelling project which will start in 2020 and sealed shut by the 2120s.
