Into Eternity
Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storages, which are vulnerable to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and to societal changes.
In Finland the world’s first permanent
repository is being hewn out of solid rock – a huge system of
underground tunnels – that must last 100,000 years as this is how long
the waste remains hazardous.
Once the waste has
been deposited and the repository is full, the facility is to be sealed
off and never opened again. Or so we hope, but can we ensure that?
And
how is it possible to warn our descendants of the deadly waste we left
behind? How do we prevent them from thinking they have found the
pyramids of our time, mystical burial grounds, hidden treasures? Which
languages and signs will they understand? And if they understand, will
they respect our instructions?
While gigantic
monster machines dig deeper and deeper into the dark, experts above
ground strive to find solutions to this crucially important radioactive
waste issue to secure mankind and all species on planet Earth now and in
the near and very distant future.
Captivating,
wondrous and extremely frightening, this feature documentary takes
viewers on a journey never seen before into the underworld and into the
future.
