Disposal - where?
The question of where to dispose of radioactive waste will be answered conclusively in the coming years. The selection of repository sites will be made in accordance with the conceptual part of the sectoral plan for deep geological repositories, which was approved by the Federal Council on 2nd April 2008. The site selection process, which is divided into three stages, is under the lead of the federal authorities.
At the beginning of the sectoral plan process, Nagra's task is to identify siting areas in Switzerland where, from a scientific and technical perspective, safe geological repositories could be constructed. Scientists have investigated the geological situation in Switzerland and proposed areas that are suitable from the point of view of safety.
