Nic Pehkonen, Nuclear Football, 2022 [Custom printed training football(s)].
Nuclear Football is a multi-purpose artwork and engagement device about radioactive waste and is intentionally designed to operate within both art and non-art environments.


Nuclear Football also represents your personal allocation of high-activity radioactive waste. According to Nuclear Waste Services “about 750,000m3 of radioactive waste is destined for disposal in a GDF: the equivalent of a football-sized amount for each person in the UK”.
