A new place to store toxic waste? (Sep 4)

   http://physicsweb.org/article/news/7/9/3

   French geologists have established for the first

time that certain types of rocks - called aquitards -

can remain impermeable for several hundreds of

thousands of years. The result may mean that these

rocks could be used as long-term storage sites for

nuclear and other toxic wastes (B Marty et. al. 2003

Nature 425 55).
