Deep Geological Storage

Deep Geological Storage involves isolating hazardous materials, such as nuclear waste, deep beneath the Earth's surface in stable rock formations. This method ensures that dangerous substances remain securely contained for thousands of years, preventing environmental contamination and human exposure. The storage sites are carefully selected for their geological stability, low permeability, and ability to prevent leaks. This approach harnesses natural barriers created by the Earth's geology, combined with engineered barriers, to safely manage long-term waste disposal. It’s considered a responsible solution for safely containing materials that remain hazardous for extended periods.
