The British government has spent too much time fighting public hostility to the nuclear industry and not enough thinking about how to clear up the radioactive waste it produces. In a report released this week, the Royal Society warns that Britain isn’t investing in the expertise it needs to dispose of existing waste safely, and the clean-up is becoming an increasingly serious and urgent problem. It also recommends that the government sets up an independent body to find out how the public wants waste disposed of in the long term.
