How to warn people 10,000 years from now about nuclear waste
Original: Long-term nuclear waste warning messages
Human societies are grappling with how to communicate the danger of buried nuclear waste to civilizations thousands of years in the future. Proposed approaches range from hostile architecture and 'ray cats' that change color near radiation to multilingual monuments and the 'This place is not a place of honor' message drafted for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.
Why now: The question of designing warnings that remain intelligible across millennia resurfaces periodically and fascinates readers as an unusual design and anthropology problem.
