Nuclear Waste Repository
A Nuclear Waste Repository is a facility designed to safely store and manage radioactive waste generated from nuclear power plants and other sources. These repositories are built deep underground to isolate the waste from the environment and human populations, ensuring that harmful radiation does not escape.
The design and construction of a nuclear waste repository involve strict regulations and scientific research to ensure long-term safety. The waste can remain hazardous for thousands of years, so repositories are engineered to withstand geological changes and natural disasters, providing a secure solution for the long-term management of nuclear waste.
