What will be the impact of wastes on future generations?
Radioactive wastes with long lifetimes pose the greatest problems, because they will remain dangerous for centuries. A reliable management method must be found, that will not have any impact on future generations. Among the solutions being studied there is deep underground storage, in very stable terrains. It would be preferable if such storage methods could be reversible to leave open the possibility for our descendants to find these wastes in order to transmute them, to reduce or annul their radioactivity if future technology permits.
