managing Nuclear Waste – what solution does the science offer?

Speakers:
Prof Neil Chapman, Chairman, ITC School of Underground Waste Storage and Dispos
Prof Charles Curtis, President, Geological Society of London
Prof Mike Thorne, independent consultant, Mike Thorne and Associates Limited

Disposal of nuclear waste is a pressing issue as power stations are decommissioned and we are left with hundreds of thousands of tonnes of high level radioactive waste. As the Government stands accused of failing to develop a coherent strategy to tackle this, we bring together experts to outline the solutions suggested by the best scientific evidence and point to actions being taken in other European countries.
