It's not his fault.

I hadn't programmed Kyle to be able to do that yet.

On the podcast Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.

And I'm Hari Kundabolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled, do I have scurvy at 3 a.m.?

How preventable is type 2?

Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world.

Your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but you don't even know.

You don't know.

Listen to Health Stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah, and I mean, in the bedrock, they're talking about 1,430 feet down, which for reference is 220 times deeper than the depth of an Olympic swimming pool.

The spent fuel assemblies are put into steel canisters,

And then just to show off, Finland surrounds them with a two-inch thick layer of copper because copper won't corrode in the anaerobic conditions down 1,430 feet under the ground.

Once they get to that 1,430 feet depth, they go into shafts that are another 30 feet deep, which is 4.6 times deeper than an Olympic pool.

And then they stack the canisters one on top of each other.

Finally, they top off that 30 foot deep shaft and then they fill them with bentonite, which is a clever thing to add because it's compressed clay that essentially, you remember those little dinosaur sponges that were really tiny and then you drop water on them and they turn into like a full size Tyrannosaurus rex?

Yeah.

It's like that, but it's the clay version of that.

When it makes contact with water, it expands.

And as it expands, it will form a seal around the canisters.

And we just have to hope that they did the math correctly and it doesn't pop the canisters open from the surrounding pressure.
