Description

This report provides information on the status of spent fuel storage and transport in Sweden. There is one central pool storage system (CLAB) for all 11 reactors in operation in Sweden. CLAB is interim spent fuel storage until the final geological disposal facility becomes available. Shipment of spent fuel is carried out by 10 dedicated transport casks, the maintenance of which follows the safety report. Since 1985 when the transport started, significant experience was gained on cask maintenance and occasional repairs. (author)
