Available in abstract form only. Full text of publication follows: The clearance of material and release of buildings for unconditional use are crucial factors for the waste amounts coming from decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The possibilities for clearance is also very much dependent on the regulatory body's ability to put in place the correct regulations or legislations. During the last decade the development of new guidelines for decommissioning has taken place. The implementation of these guidelines on a national level has not been fast but in Sweden it is on its way. This paper will describe the Swedish situation from the point of view of a decommissioner, i.e. an organization in need of clear and long term regulations. (authors)
