scientists at the university of essex are working on a solution for one of the largest and most complex environmental problems facing the country. the uk has nearly five million tonnes of nuclear waste to dispose of, but the job is so difficult and dangerous that it would take humans 120 years to complete. the scientists are designing a new generation of robots capable of working in some of the most radioactive places on the planet. here s our science correspondent richard westcott. there is enough nuclear waste in britain to fill wembley stadium. some of it has lain untouched in waterfor decades. if humans cleared it up, it would take 120 years. so scientists are developing a new generation of intelligent robots to help out. their circuit boards will need to withstand huge levels of radiation, so they are testing them in this special room. the entrance is this one and a half tonne steel and polythene door, which you just pull like that and get out of the way and then
