That's the tough environmental problem facing many countries looking to scale up nuclear power operations.
Finland is already further ahead than most.
Last year it became the first country in the world to finish a deep underground facility, where spent nuclear fuel will be locked away for thousands of years.

As we drive northwest from Helsinki, what strikes me about the scenery, apart from lots of trees, is dense grey rock.
Some of the main road is cut through the granite.
It's beneath that dense bedrock that some of the most hazardous material produced by humanity, highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel, will be buried in a place called Onkolo, which is where we're headed.
Disposal holes are drilled in the tunnels using a purpose-built boring machine.
At ground level, above the tunnels, is a visitor's centre with an exhibition explaining the whole containment and permanent disposal process.
In that time when we started, we were not the first in the world.
