Abstract

AbstractIn 2002 two communities in Sweden, Osthammar and Oskarhamn, accepted that SKB, the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company, could continue the work of site investigations for a final repository for spent fuel. This was a big and important step towards the completion of the last link in the chain for a complete system for handling and finalstorage of spent fuel in Sweden. In 2008 the site investigations should be ready and one of the two sites will be chosen for the final repository in Sweden. The repositoryis scheduled for start of operation in 2017. This paper describes how facilities and transport systems could be designed, building on the experience of the current system in Sweden which has been in operation since 1985.
