The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and others requests a judicial review of the government’s nuclear fuel repository decision
Posted: 4th May 2022
Hej!
An appeal has been made of the Swedish government’s decisions to approve the planned repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark NPP.
“The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, the Swedish Friends of the Earth, Nature and Youth Sweden, the Uppsala County chapter and the Östhammar local chapter of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and the Swedish NGO Office for Nuclear waste Review, MKG, have jointly requested a judicial review of the Swedish government’s decision to approve the repository for spent nuclear fuel to the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court. The application concerns the Government’s decision of 27 January 2022 both in accordance with the Environmental Code and the Nuclear Activities Act. The organisations consider that the decisions contravene the legal rules of the Environmental Code and are based on incorrect assessments. They assert that the remaining uncertainties regarding long-term radiation safety are far too great.!
