Nuclear wastes: A basic and outstanding article by Dr B.L. Cohen, former president of the Am. Phys. Soc., appears in the Jan. 76 issue of Physics Today. A free reprint of a more complete article can be obtained directly from the author, Physics Dept., U. of Pittsburgh, PA 15260.

Although the nuclear waste problem is solved beyond reasonable objections, there is always room for improvement. The US is already solidifying wastes, but Britain is experimenting with glassifying them, i.e., turning the waste liquids into exceptionally durable glass which would withstand water, fire and even earthquakes for centuries.
