A visitor centre has been opened in Bátaapáti, in one of Hungary’s “most myster­ious” indus­trial facil­ities, which is certainly remark­able in terms of interior design. The country’s radio­active waste storage facility badly needs this visitor centre also because laymen are highly inter­ested in the security issues asso­ci­ated with radio­active waste locked for thou­sands of years in layers of granite. Upon entering the ground floor of this slightly nondes­cript flat-roof building, which was built in the ‘70s and is located next to the entrance of the waste storage facility, people not only get answers to their ques­tions related to security but also gain an aesthetic exper­i­ence accur­ately illus­trating that hazardous waste is being treated using state-of-the-art tech­no­lo­gies at the facility.
