Joanna + 68 JT January 22, 2018 The UK government is expected to begin a nationwide search for a community willing to host an underground nuclear waste dump to store highly radioactive material for thousands of years. The last effort hit a brick wall in 2013 when Cumbria county council, the only local authority still in the running as a host for the dump, rejected it.

Missy + 43 MM January 22, 2018 Yeah.. um... inviting prospect. Who would want a nuclear dump in their community? Crazy. Can't they just send it into orbit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnAtronis + 78 JA January 22, 2018 Other nuclear countries, such as Finland, have already started building underground stores. Scandinavians, always copy Scandinavians Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen + 67 SM January 22, 2018 Why not bury it under the power station. Surely if the geology is right to build it, then its right to store the consequences Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 9, 2018 Don't forget agreements to ship radioactive material, avoiding a hard border in Ireland, getting enough permits for UK hauliers to drive in the EU, aviation safety, policing intelligence... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
