The natural reactors at Oklo were active about 1.9 billion years ago and the individual reactors are thought to have remained active for anything from 100 000 to 1 million years.

Internal Waste Management (a DOE website)
This US DOE site aims to give brief country profiles, including maps, country fact sheets and
international cooperation relationships.The site also contains two useful acronym/abbreviation

data with a nice feature that allows you to build your own country profile. Such a "lesson" is

The site of the scandal of the Yucca Mountain Project
The Yucca Mountain Site Characterisation Project, in Nevada, is an underground rock
laboratory for the design of a high level waste repository. This web site covers not only the
(very slow) "progress" of the project but also contains information on associated topics such as the nature
and sources of human radiation exposure, current press releases and two electronic journals.
