China plans to store the glass nuclear waste deep underground as the country ramps up its nuclear power industry.
Nuclear power is sometimes seen as a source of green energy due to nuclear power plants not producing greenhouse gasses.
Once cooled, the nuclear waste is then stored within the glass, which helps prevent dangerous radioactivity from leaking out. A number of countries, including the U.S., France, Germany and others have disposed of nuclear waste in this way. Liu Yongde, chief engineer at the China Atomic Energy Authority, told the state news outlet that the storage method would help China achieve its goal of carbon neutrality before 2060.
