As the plans for the first Yugoslavian Nuclear power plant (NPP) Krsko were drafted in the 1970s, there was no mention of nuclear waste. Similarly, the purchase contract with Westinghouse made no mention of it. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1990, the previous contract between the two states, Slovenia and Croatia, extended the primary 50:50 provision of ownership to nuclear waste. This agreement is the origin of both cooperation and entanglements about nuclear waste. Slovenia and Croatia have decided to postpone the construction of a final depository for used nuclear fuel until the NPP Krsko I, and the pending NPP Krsko II has been definitively put out of operation. The first strategy for spent fuel management was adopted in 1996. It was based on the agreement between the governments of Slovenia and Croatia. However, cooperation has proven difficult as each side wants to make as much profit from the NPP as possible and to take over as little cost regarding used fuel as it can. Two separate final repositories for nuclear waste are probable.
