There is a 2010 documentary called "Into Eternity" about building an underground nuclear storage facility in Finland. It also covers the problem of how to warn people very far into the future.
- askvictor 9y agoIs it not sufficient to blow up the access tunnels, such that any civilisation capable of digging it up will can be presumed to have the technology to detect radioactivity? This presumes a stable geology and no asteroid impacts.
- bootlooped 9y agoIf I remember right, the plan was to fill the tunnels with concrete when the facility is full. I think drilling is a lot simpler than detecting radioactivity though. The most plausible scenario is that a future civilization tries to drill in the area and brings a bunch of waste up to the surface inadvertently.
