Nuclear waste is dangerous and will last for a long time: a final storage facility must last for a million years. An unimaginable time. From the Quarks archive (TV premiere November 10, 2015). The decision to phase out nuclear energy was made long ago. But the search for a final storage facility for nuclear waste is still ongoing. Quarks explains why nuclear waste is so dangerous, what needs to be considered when storing nuclear waste and how the interests of power companies and politicians are slowing down the search for a final storage facility for nuclear waste. Why should radioactive nuclear waste actually be buried underground? Are there not other ways of disposing of it? Quarks has taken a close look at the alternatives: from the sea to the sun.
