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 has started building the world's second-ever long-term storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, but safety concerns remain.

Sweden has started building the world's second permanent storage facility for spent nuclear fuel. This site, located at Forsmark, will store 12,000 tons of radioactive waste for 100,000 years. The initiative plays a crucial role in Sweden's climate transition and nuclear waste management.

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,

Sweden has begun constructing a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, which will store the waste for 100,000 years. The project is controversial and requires further research on the safety of protective capsules,

Sweden has broken ground on its ambitious $11 billion nuclear waste repository, where highly radioactive material will rest in an underground maze of tunnels stretching 60 kilometers - longer than the New York City subway's longest line.

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.
