Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Hard Rock Laboratory
Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Hard Rock Laboratory
In an international perspective, Sweden has come a long way in the development of safe and accepted systems for the management and disposal of radioactive waste. <br/><br/>A complete system for sea transport of spent nuclear fuel from the twelve Swedish nuclear reactors has been in operation since 1982. The spent nuclear fuel will be stored in CLAB for a period of about 40 years up until final disposal. The facility has been in operation since 1985. A final repository for low- and intermediate-level short-lived waste, SFR, has been in operation since April 1988.

RD&D-Programme 2004 Programme for research, development and demonstration of methods for the management and disposal of nuclear waste, including social science research
The preceding RD&D-Programme from 2001 was concentrated on research and technology development. Research with a focus on the assessment of long-term safety was emphasized and viewpoints from previous reviews of SR 97 and RD&D-Programme 98 were dealt with in depth. SR 97 was an assessment of the long-term safety of a deep repository for spent nuclear fuel. This RD&D-Programme 2004 focuses its attention on the development of technologies for fabrication and sealing of canisters for final disposal of spent fuel.
Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Siting of a deep repository
Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Siting of a deep repository
The siting of the facilities for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other long-lived<br/>nuclear waste is one of the central remaining tasks within the Swedish waste programme.<br/>Work relating to the siting of the repository is being conducted in stages and will<br/>continue for most of the 1990:ies. This report describes the background to, the goals<br/>for and structure of SKB 's activities relating to the siting of a deep geological<br/>repository.
Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste Detailed R&D-Programme 1993–1998
Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste Detailed R&D-Programme 1993–1998
The goal of radioactive waste management in Sweden is to dispose of all radioactive waste products generated at the Swedish nuclear power plants in a safe manner. Furthermore, all other radioactive waste that arises in Sweden shall be safely disposed of.<br/>The Act on Nuclear Activities requires that the owners of the Swedish nuclear power plants adopt the measures that are needed to achieve this goal. The owners of the Swedish nuclear power plants have commissioned the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) to implement the measures that are needed.<br/>
Detailed programme for research and development 1999–2004
Detailed programme for research and development 1999–2004
This report is a background to RD&D-Programme 98 /1-11. The report gives an account of most of the research and development being conducted by SKB. The current state of knowledge is described, along with the goals and programmes that govern the continued work. The period of immediate concern comprises the next three years, 1999-2001. Particulars for the three years following that are for natural reasons less detailed and mainly indicate a direction.
Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Alternative Disposal Methods
Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Alternative Disposal Methods
The present report discusses the implications of the terms "alternative design" and "alternative barriers". Furthermore, different schematic methods for final disposal and different components that can be included in a system for final disposal are presented. The ideas for the different methods, components or designs come from many sources.
