INTO ETERNITY (dir. Michael Madsen, 2010, 75 min.) What to do with all the toxic radioactive waste left over from producing nuclear energy? Michael Madsen’s bracing documentary examines one solution: Finland’s massive Onkalo underground bunker meant to store nuclear waste as it decays and becomes safe—in 100,000 years. What is current standard practice for disposing of radioactive waste, and what are the hazards of securing humankind and other species now and well into the distant future?
Come once, or come every week. Tuesday nights at 7:00 in the Landis Cinema, Buck Hall.
Shuttle bus service to/from College Hill. All are welcome. Open to the Public. Popcorn. Free.
