Sweden Created a "100,000-Year" Solution to Bury Nuclear Waste - Industry Tap
Vattenfall plans to build new hydro power in four Swedish locations that are already home to hydro power plants.
Swedish energy giant Vattenfall wants to expand its existing hydropower in Sweden, Vattenfall stated in a press release on Tuesday, an initiative positively received by the Swedish government.
Sweden's Land and Environment Court has granted radioactive waste management company Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB an environmental permit to increase the amount of used nuclear fuel in the Clab interim storage facility at Oskarshamn from 8000 tonnes to 11,000 tonnes.
Sweden’s government in late January gave radioactive waste management company Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB) the green light to proceed with a deep geological repository (DGR) for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) at a site near Vattenfall’s 3.2-GW Forsmark nuclear power plant. The milestone, which wraps up a planning process that has taken more than 40 years, makes Sweden only the second country, after Finland, to take active steps on building a permanent SNF repository.
