Sheltering in Place...for Millennia: Deep Isolation Has a Plan for Nuclear Waste
Elizabeth Muller's company Deep Isolation has pioneered what she says is a safe method of storing nuclear waste deep underground—really deep. Elizabeth argues that such storage, which would still allow for the material to be recovered if desired, would keep ground dwelling earthlings like Homo sapiens and other living beings safe from our civilization’s nuclear waste for perhaps a million years, and she’s attracting venture capital from investors who’ve already pumped $14 million into her company.
