FT Rethink

Finland's subterranean nuclear waste solution

Nuclear power generates around one-tenth of the world’s electricity, but it has also produced hundreds of thousands of tonnes of radioactive waste. Before it is sealed for all eternity, the FT’s Richard Milne explores the deep vault where Finland is about to start burying its nuclear waste in ancient bedrock.


As the world changes at lightning speed, the FT Rethink series explores how to navigate transformative shifts shaping the future, from geopolitics and climate to industry, energy and health. The channel alternates between independent reporting from FT journalists and business perspectives from Lombard Odier.
