  1. Aspects of the Management of High Level Waste and Spent Fuel – the Swedish Perspective Johan Anderberg Director, SSM Sweden Johan Anderberg

  2. The national context • 45 % of the electrical power production • 10 operating reactors • CLAB – central interim spent fuel storage • SFR – repository for operational waste • Västerås – fuel factory • Studsvik – waste management facilities Johan Anderberg

  3. Policy and Strategies - I • Late 70’s early 80’s: Direct disposal of SNF without reprocessing • The reactor owners shall manage and dispose of the SNF and HLW in Sweden • Expenses covered by revenues from the energy production giving rise to HLW and SNF • SNF/HLW is managed / disposed in Sweden - only by exception disposal of foreign waste • The State has the ultimate responsibility Johan Anderberg

  4. Policy and Strategies - II • The Acts (and Ordinances) • Nuclear Activities Act (1984:3) • Radiation Protection Act (1988:220) • Environmental Code (1998:808) • Financial Measures for the Management of Residual Products from Nuclear Activities (2006:647) lay down provisions, implement Swedish policy • The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company AB (SKB) plans, builds and operates Swedish HLW / SNF facilities Johan Anderberg

The license application review processes SKB Applies for the licenses, prepares applications SKB Initiates civil construction case The Municipality Detailed plan Planning and Building Act (2010:900) SSM Nuclear Activities Act Environm. Court Environmental Code • Government • Decides on • Nuclear licence • Permissibility of Environm. licence The Municipality Approves or object application The Municipality Municipality Board plan approval SKB Applies for building permit Environm. Court Decides on Environmental licence & conditions SSM Issues conditions coupled to nuclear licence The Municipality Issues building permit Johan Anderberg

  9. Openness – a Licensing Prerequisite • Siting and licensing of waste repository • Participation of interested parties • Dialogue Johan Anderberg

  10. Key messages • National responsibility – prime responsibility rests with operators and nuclear licensees • Step-wise approach – evaluation, feed-back, new research • All decisions and actions publicly discussed and supported • International co-operation and peer reviews Johan Anderberg
