A Diffusion Science Nuclear Special. We look at the breakdown of
nuclear waste storage materials with time, and the problems
associated with cleanup of the Maralinga nuclear test site.
Dr Ian Farnan, University of Cambridge, talks to Charles Willock about
possibly significant errors in estimates of nuclear waste storage times.
Alan Parkinson, nuclear engineer, talks with Charles Willock about
the mishandling of nuclear waste at Maralinga.
