Ferry Bridge Power Station

No longer operational, sad so many had to loose their jobs. I know they talk about carbon emissions and climate change, but when they build the nuclear power stations, does anyone think about where the waste products go.  quote:-
Radioactivity naturally decays over time, so radioactive waste has to be isolated and confined in appropriate disposal facilities for a sufficient period until it no longer poses a threat. The time radioactive waste must be stored for depends on the type of waste and radioactive isotopes. It can range from a few days  to millions of years. Current major approaches to managing radioactive waste have been segregation and storage for short-lived waste, near-surface disposal for low and some intermediate level waste, and deep burial or partitioning / transmutation for the high-level waste.
Where do they bury this waste?
It's worrying when you remember Chernobyl and Fukushima

It's been a nice day today, as you can see by the sky.
