  2. Long-term nuclear waste warning messages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste...

    Long-term nuclear waste warning messages are communication attempts intended to deter human intrusion at nuclear waste repositories in the far future, within or above the order of magnitude of 10,000 years. Nuclear semiotics is an interdisciplinary field of research, first established by the American Human Interference Task Force in 1981.

  8. Radioactive waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

    Short-term approaches to radioactive waste storage have been segregation and storage on the surface or near-surface of the earth. Burial in a deep geological repository is a favored solution for long-term storage of high-level waste, while re-use and transmutation are favored solutions for reducing the HLW inventory.

  9. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant

    The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, in New Mexico, US, is the world's third deep geological repository (after Germany's Repository for radioactive waste Morsleben and the Schacht Asse II salt mine) licensed to store transuranic radioactive waste for 10,000 years. The storage rooms at the WIPP are 2,150 feet (660 m) underground in a salt ...
