Siting of an encapsulation facility - a local perspective
- Karinta-Konsult, Taeby (Sweden)
- Municipality of Oskarshamn (Sweden)
- Ahagen & Co. AB, Danderyd (Sweden)
The SKB company has proposed siting of an encapsulation facility for spent nuclear fuel adjacent to the central storage facility CLAB within the Oskarshamn municipality. SKB has also initiated preinves-tigations in other municipalities for a final repository. Following a format proposed by Oskarshamn, a process for an Environmental Impact Assessment has started for the encapsulation facility. The main objective of the process is to achieve public participation and a dialogue about environmental impacts of the facility. For Oskarshamn, it will be important to have reasonable assurance that a final repository can be build before a permit is given to SKB to construct the encapsulation facility. Therefore, an EIA process needs to be started also for the final repository, as well as for the transportation system.
