SWEDISH STRATEGY AND EXPERIENCE IN SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Thanks to a sustainable strategy laid down already in the 1980s, a responsible and knowledgeable industry, international cooperation, competent authorities, a solid finansing system and a clear definition of the roles of the different parties, Sweden has today the privilege of being considered as one of the countries having the most mature back end fuel cycle in the world. An important reason for this good result was that much of the waste management R&D work was done in close co-operation with the international scientific and engineering community. It is natural for all institutions in Sweden dealing with nuclear waste management to continue this international cooperation and share the Swedish experiences with the international community.
