370,000 tonnes of highly radioactive, spent nuclear fuel in temporarystorage around the globe.
Sweden’s government gave the go-ahead on Thursday for the building of a storage facility to keep the country’s spent nuclear fuel safe for the next 100,000 years. What to do with nuclear waste has been a major headache since the world’s first nuclear plants came on line in the 1950s and 1960s. The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates that there is around 370,000 tonnes of highly radioactive, spent nuclear fuel in temporary storage around the globe.
