3. Too bad we can't be a progressive thinking as Finland.
Edited on Thu Mar-24-11 11:18 AM by Statistical


Finland's Deep Geological Repository at Onkala is already under construction. The primary shaft down 1700ft into solid granite has been completed. Research tunnels are being dug to determine best layout for the repository. The repository will be more than 600 reactors years worth of capacity. Finland has 4 reactors, with 1 more under construction, and 1 more planned). Even when accounting for rising population and rising energy demand Onkala will be able to contain all spent fuel used for past 30 year plus all projected spent fuel until 2120.
