Sweden has begun constructing a nuclear waste repository to store radioactive waste deep underground near the Forsmark nuclear power plant. Holes will be drilled into solid rock to accommodate containers filled with 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.

The Swedish government has announced the beginning of construction of a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel,

Sweden recently began constructing a final storage facility for its spent nuclear fuel. The facility will safely store highly radioactive waste for an extended period, specifically 100,000 years. The construction work of the Spent Fuel Repository is taking place in Söderviken,

Sweden has begun constructing a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, which will store the waste for 100,000 years. The project is controversial and requires further research on the safety of protective capsules,

Sweden has broken ground on its ambitious $11 billion nuclear waste repository, where highly radioactive material will rest in an underground maze of tunnels stretching 60 kilometers - longer than the New York City subway's longest line.

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.
