Into a frightening eternity

November 7, 2010 by Fosco Lucarelli 3 Comments

Onkalo is a Finnish word for “hiding place”. It is situated at Olkiluoto in Finland – approx. 300 km northwest of Helsinki and it’s the first man-made-construction designed to last for the eternity.
A huge system of underground tunnels destined to house the world biggest nuclear waste repository.

Once the waste has been deposited and the repository is full, the facility is to be sealed off and never opened again. Exactly like the Egyptian pyramids, someone would add.

INTO ETERNITY is a documentary about solid rocks excavations, radioactivity and the hazardous future man is creating. Watch the trailer. Then go the official site.
