This review occasionally lapses into whimsy and loses focus, such as when it compares this nuclear waste site to the pyramids of Egypt. It uses more literary references than concrete history or science, but it raises the important questions about what to do with our nuclear waste, and whether it's a fair price to pay for our energy-intensive lifestyle.
It is good to see documentaries getting made about nuclear waste storage. My conclusions after visiting the Yucca Mountain US site were mostly the opposite of what this film seems to conclude, but anything that gets you thinking about 100,000 years is good in my book!
