Inside the world’s first nuclear waste vault.

This is where fusion has the edge over fission. Any radioactive waste from fusion is short lived. And there’s essentially no radioactive waste if you master aneutronic fusion.

Fission, on the other hand, has that ever lingering radioactive waste problem.

“Into Eternity” is a documentary about Onkalo, a giant underground vault being built 200 miles outside Helsinki for the permanent storage of radioactive nuclear waste. It will ultimately tunnel 300 miles into bedrock. To be successful, the facility must last for 100,000 years.

That’s 95,000 years longer than the pyramids (give or take). And look at how many times the mummies have broken out of those.

In theaters soon.

Molten Salt Reactors can reduce the amount of radio-toxic waste by a factor of at least 1,000 compared to solid-fuelled reactors.
83% of thorium waste is stable within 10 years and can be sold. The rest goes to storage and is below background in 300 hundred years.
