The main reason that society opposes the use of nuclear power is the generation of long-lived nuclear waste and especially its long-term storage.

On the one hand, the nuclear industry believes that current processing leads sufficiently to safe long-term storage. While on the other hand, the general view of society is not satisfied with seemingly endless long-term storage with the main reason being that future generations should not be saddled with the problems of previous generations.

This has led to a stalemate with mutually contrived regulations that totally block elaborations of possible solutions, or the prospect of them.

Despite the realisation that any solution to the radioactive waste problem is certainly not simple, the lecture aims to show that the problem can be minimally mitigated and, not impossibly, may even be solvable.

In the lecture "What to do with nuclear waste", Coen Schiebaan approaches the nuclear waste problem from his experiences accumulated in his working life at a nuclear research centre and the Dodewaard Nuclear Power Plant.

Aim of the lecture is: Look and work on solutions also for nuclear waste.
