Nuclear waste should be buried

After three years of deliberation, a government-commissioned inquiry has concluded that the UK should bury its nuclear waste deep underground. The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) laid out its solution to the decades-old waste problem in a press conference held today. But it told reporters that because it will take many years to dispose of the waste in this way, the construction of a permanent repository must be complemented by a robust system of interim storage.
