Radioactive Waste Disposal: The 10,000-Year Test
VHS

TD898 .R321 1993
It would seem impossible to predict 10,000 years into the future, but that is what American law demands, requiring that scientists prove that wherever the nation's lethal high-level nuclear waste is buried, it will be safe - guaranteed to cause no more than a thousand deaths in 10,000 years. This program investigates current research in the middle of the Nevada desert where the nuclear dump is to be located, with scientists creating computer simulations that take into consideration rocks, weather, ground water behavior, and human activity.
