Finland leads the way with plan for nuclear repository.
M2 PRESSWIRE-22 December 2000-FORATOM: Finland leads the way with plan for nuclear repository (C)1994-2000 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
RDATE:21122000
Brussels - The Finnish government decision favouring development of a deep underground repository for spent nuclear fuel is a morally responsible move that deserves the highest praise, according to FORATOM, the trade association for the nuclear industry in Europe.
Following the government go-ahead, which is subject to ratification by parliament, Finland is set to become the first country in the world to build a final repository for spent fuel from nuclear power plants. Sweden and the US are also well ahead with similar plans.
FORATOM argues that the time has now come for other countries to seriously address this important issue and press ahead with projects that will isolate this material from the biosphere.
Commenting on the Finnish decision, FORATOM`s Secretary General, Dr. Wolf-J.
Schmidt-Kuster, said: "This demolishes the old argument of the anti-nuclear lobby that `no-one knows what to do with radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel`. Such distorted assertions can now be safely disposed of.
