SKB

Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) is responsible for safe management of all nuclear waste arising in Sweden. Over the past few decades SKB has built and operated a national underground final repository for low- and medium level wastes (SFR) generated by nuclear power plants, hospitals etc., a central interim storage facility for spent fuel (CLAB) and a specially-built ship for transportation of the wastes and the spent fuel. SKB has also planned, constructed and is operating an underground research facility – the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory and an encapsulation laboratory. These facilities are used to execute essential research, development and demonstration before construction of the deep repository and the encapsulation plant.
