Sweden, spent nuclear fuel

Sweden starts building 100,000 year storage site for spent nuclear fuel
Sweden started building a final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel on Wednesday, only the second such site in the world, where highly radioactive waste will be stored for 100,000 years. How to store deadly radioactive waste until it is safe is a question that has dogged the nuclear industry since commercial reactors began operating in the 1950s.
Sweden Begins Construction on World's Second Deep Geological Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Sweden has broken ground on its final repository for spent nuclear fuel (SNF)—a milestone reached after 40 years of research and development—making it the world’s second deep geological repository (DGR) now under construction.
Sweden begins construction of spent nuclear fuel storage facility in Forsmark
Sweden has initiated the construction of a repository for the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel in Söderviken, close to the Forsmark nuclear power plant. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) received an environmental permit to build and operate the repository in October 2024.
Sweden starts digging nuclear grave to bury radioactive waste for 100,000 years
Sweden recently began constructing a final storage facility for its spent nuclear fuel. The facility will safely store highly radioactive waste for an extended period, specifically 100,000 years. The construction work of the Spent Fuel Repository is taking place in Söderviken, adjacent to the Forsmark nuclear power plant.
