Sweden begins cross-border environmental impact assessment
In December 2005, the Kingdom of Sweden began an information and participation process regarding the cross-border environmental impact assessment, among others with the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Swedish overall project currently comprises
- A repository for spent fuel elements,
- The expansion of an existing interim storage facility for spent fuel elements as well as
- A conditioning plant.
Based on the documents on the environmental impact assessment made available by Sweden, the participation of the public on cross-border environmental impacts is currently underway. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) is directly responsible for the procedure for the participation of the German public for the expansion of the existing interim storage facility.
Additional note (16 April 2016): Until 15 April 2016, the German public could view the documents at the BfS website and in the BfS libraries and could submit statements to the responsible Swedish authority.
