Germany is searching for a safe site for the permanent disposal of nuclear waste and hopes to identify one by 2050. But only 5% of the country’s area, spread across 11 of its 16 states, remains eligible for consideration. The search takes time because the repository’s safety must be demonstrated for one million years by studying the rocks and groundwater and selecting an impermeable rock layer. Finland, meanwhile, has become the first country in the world to approve a repository 400 metres underground. The search and interim storage cost about €1.4 billion a year, while building the final repository is estimated to cost €14 billion and hold 28,000 cubic metres of waste.
