Sweden's Forsmark Repository

The Forsmark Repository in Sweden is a deep geological facility designed to safely store spent nuclear fuel. Located underground in stable bedrock, it isolates radioactive waste from the environment using multiple barriers, including robust canisters and surrounding rock. This ensures that harmful radiation doesn’t reach people or ecosystems for thousands of years. The facility is part of Sweden’s plan for responsible nuclear waste management, emphasizing safety, environmental protection, and future generations’ security. It exemplifies a technically advanced, long-term solution for managing nuclear material that remains hazardous long after use.
