We are making more toxic waste than we can easily get rid of. Drums of cyanide have been washed up on beaches, poisons have been fly-tipped near water supplies and although Parliament has brought in safety measures, many are still disturbed. Meanwhile, we're piling up another form of waste with uniquely alarming potential - radio-active waste from our nuclear power stations which could remain dangerous for tens of thousands of years. Jack Pizzey reports from Pitsea, the centre of the toxic waste industry, and from Windscale, where our radio-active waste is stored and monitored while scientists try to discover a way of getting rid of it. Scientists inside the waste business are optimistic but others are less sure. In the studio Desmond Wilcox discusses the issues with those most concerned.
