Finland has started final digging at Onkalo, the world's first geological disposal facility for nuclear waste that will contain 6,500 tonnes of hazardous material sealed 400 metres underground for over 100,000 years.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can no longer count on short-term storage for nuclear waste if you are in energy or environmental tech; Finland’s deep geological dump sets a precedent for permanent solutions you may need to build for or comply with this decade.
