Short summary
Underground research labs (URLs) help make the unimaginable timescales of long-term radioactive waste management imaginable by testing techniques and materials under realistic conditions. The HADES URL in Belgium is a case example. This paper highlights the complex, materially heterogeneous process of knowledge production at HADES. It argues that understanding and reflecting on this process is crucial, as knowledge production is performative in shaping potential waste management future(s).
