Video:
"Traces of the Future" 55min and 24min versions of an exploration of the uses of natural analogues in waste disposal. Production was co-ordinated by Nagra and co-funded by SKB, Nirex, CEC, USDoE, Ondraf, ENRESA, AECL and Nagra. English master translated into German, French, Japanese, Czech, Chinese, Flemish, Spanish and Swedish. The Czech version of the video was awarded 1st prize in its category at the 34th International Festival of Films and Video Programmes on Science, Technology, Agriculture and the Environment, Hradec Kralove, Czech Replublic, 19th October, 1996.
