... at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant. The fuel assemblies are stored in water pools located in two 120-m-long rock chambers. The roof of the rock chambers is ∼30 m below the ground surface. Construction of a second storage vault has recently been completed. The Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory is an underground facility...

... is stored in the Clab facility, a repository in Precambrian granites and volcanics near the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant on the southeastern coast of Sweden. The spent fuel is contained in four concrete storage pools about 25–30 m below the surface. The Clab facility is considered interim storage...

... the Oskarshamn nuclear power station south of the capital. These early studies evoked little notice. Desiring to obtain representative samples of the granite, SKB expanded its investigations shortly thereafter. Local residents strongly criticized the company for failing to consult prior to launching its...

..., but nevertheless significant, quantities of plutonium from both the decommissioning of nuclear weapons and the reprocessing of commercial fuel also require disposal. In France, 1200 tonnes of spent fuel is generated from nuclear power plants each year, but 99.5 wt% of it is U and Pu, which is recycled for use...

... waste from nuclear power plants. To meet this requirement, the power utilities set up the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). On 16 March 2011, SKB applied for a license to build a repository for spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark, in south central Sweden. The proposed repository uses...
