I'm here on the west coast of Finland where a world first project to store nuclear waste far under the ground is nearing completion. 
Plans for En Carlo were first conceived in the 1980s and now four decades later, operators say construction is complete and they could begin storing nuclear waste later this year. 
Spent nuclear fuel will be filled into copper canisters, then buried hundreds of meters below the surface among a maze of underground tunnels. 
Geologists here say the bedrock means nuclear waste can be stored safely for at least 100,000 years. 
In Finland, nuclear energy makes up about 40% of the country's energy mix. 
And despite Chernobyl and more recently Fukushima disasters, there's still high public support for it. 
There's hundreds of thousands of tons of spent nuclear fuel stored up in containers.
