Extract

The Swedish repository for low and intermediate level waste- SFR was ready for operation in early 1988. The license to start operation for the low level waste part was given in the spring of the same year. A very detailed safety analysis of the repository has been made by the SWEDISH NUCLEAR FUEL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT CO.- SKB. The main issues of this work are presented in this paper.
