Finland is on the cusp of becoming the world’s first country to bury spent nuclear fuel in a geological tomb where it will be stored for 100,000 years. Can it be done? Gareth Law, professor of radiochemistry at @helsinkiuni explains. cnbc.com/2024/08/29/onkalo-f…

Well done to all @KumpulaScience PIs working in civil nuclear — a truly excellent result in this year’s SAFER2028 call. Our existing projects continue, 1 gets promoted to excellence status (way to go Soroush!), and the cherry on top — 2 new projects have been funded. Delighted 🥰

So fantastic to have great colleagues with different specialisms come together to push the science forward in nuclear accident impact studies! Thanks to our Finnish and Japanese funders @SuomenAkatemia and @jsps_sns and @NHKWORLD_News for documenting this important work!
After intense days of field sampling for cesium-rich microparticles in our @SuomenAkatemia @jsps_sns joint project, our #HelsinkiChemistry @KumpulaScience @UoH_Rad_Chem team is off to Kyoto/Okayama for collaborative meetings, then to Kyushu university for sample analysis.
