About 20 guests, mainly from Kävlinge municipality and the media, had been invited to the inauguration and display of the warehouse. At an information meeting before the inauguration, Åsa Carlson, CEO of BKAB, explained why the temporary warehouse is so important for the demolition project. - If we can start by removing all components that are still radioactive, we will be able to start the conventional demolition of the building faster and carry it out in a much safer and more efficient way, Åsa explained. - The Swedish system for disposal of nuclear power waste is based on a central final repository in bedrock. Barsebäck does not have the conditions to be approved as a final repository, but all demolition waste must be stored at SFR. - The permit examination for expanded SFR is now in progress. The process is expected to take a few years and requires the SSM, Land and Environmental Court, Östhammar municipality and finally the government to say yes to the expansion, Åsa explains. Work on the segmentation will start in September this year and will be completed during the first quarter of 2019. In order to be able to handle the radioactivity, the internal metal parts in the reactors will be sawn underwater in the basins. They are then placed in steel tanks and transported safely to the building for storage. Page updated on July 5, 2016 Subscribe Enter your email to have our press releases and news sent to you.
