Retrieval of a near-surface repository at IFE-Kjeller

  • 1. Institute for Energy Technology, Kjeller (Norway)

Description

In 1970 a total of 997 drums and 19 other units containing radioactive waste were buried in clay at IFE-Kjeller. When the Norwegian Parliament in 1994 decided to build a combined storage and repository facility for low- and intermediate level radioactive waste in Himdalen (KLDRA), it was also stated that this waste should be retrieved and transferred to this new repository. Retrieval of the buried waste was carried out during the autumn of 2001. A short description of the work is given. (orig.)
