Sweden, Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant

Sweden starts building 100,000 year storage site for spent nuclear fuel
How to store deadly radioactive waste until it is safe is a question that has dogged the nuclear industry since commercial reactors began operating in the 1950s.
Sweden begins construction of spent nuclear fuel storage facility in Forsmark
Sweden has initiated the construction of a repository for the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel in Söderviken, close to the Forsmark nuclear power plant. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) received an environmental permit to build and operate the repository in October 2024.
Sweden Begins Construction on World's Second Deep Geological Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Sweden has broken ground on its final repository for spent nuclear fuel (SNF)—a milestone reached after 40 years of research and development—making it the world’s second deep geological repository (DGR) now under construction.
Sweden Starts Building 100,000-Year Nuclear Waste Repository
Sweden has commenced construction of a final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, where highly radioactive waste will be stored for 100,000 years.
Sweden breaks ground on the world's second deep nuclear repository
Sweden has started constructing a nuclear waste repository to store radioactive waste deep underground near the Forsmark nuclear power plant. Holes will be drilled into solid rock, where containers filled with spent nuclear fuel will be placed.
