The Bright Night in the Nagra Core Archive

Description

For a million years, nuclear waste must be stored until it is no longer "dangerous." Yes: 1,000,000 years! Can humans even imagine such a long period? The idea of storing nuclear waste far away from humans and nature deep underground forever is promising. We will look together at how Nagra has learned in over 50 years of research that nature can do much more than humans. Safety for 1 million years into the future! Program:
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Dialogue on nuclear waste, context, and disposal solutions - what would you do?
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Tour of the Nagra Core Archive (18,000 cores) and an impressive model of the planned deep repository
8:00 PM – 9:30 PM: Coffee and sweets, open discussion on all questions about nuclear waste disposal
