China is building a massive underground laboratory to research disposal technologies for high-level radioactive waste, China Daily reported on 8 April. This will pave the way for a repository that can handle the disposal of at least a century's worth of such materials for tens of thousands of years, the lab's chief designer, Wang Ju, vice-president of the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology, told China Daily. The lab will be situated in granite up to 560 metres below ground in the Beishan region of Gansu province. The underground lab was listed as one of China's major scientific construction projects in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20).
