The UK has an unacceptable long term nuclear waste plan, according to Britian's Committee on Radioactive Waste Management. Great Britian does not know where it's final resting place will be for lots of its nuclear waste, and the deadly radioactive material keeps being produced every day. Former administrations have faced the problem, but nothing has been done about it.
Storing the nuclear waste a half of a kilometer underground is Great Britian's option that is being considered. Finland has already begun the process of burying its nuclear waste underground as well.
The process of burying nuclear waste takes a long time (up to 30 years). If parliment doesn't do something about the nation's nuclear waste disposal soon, then they are in for some 'serious' problems.
The UK and nations all over the world need to realize the dangers of nuclear waste. Long term solutions are needed to ensure a clean world for the future.
