    Finland’s plan to bury spent nuclear waste carries risk to future generations

    Finland is set to operationalize the Onkalo nuclear waste repository, the world's first permanent spent fuel disposal site, after decades of construction. The facility, located 430 meters underground on Olkiluoto Island, aims to safely isolate radioactive waste for thousands of years. Concerns about long-term risks to future generations persist despite assurances of geological stability.
