Regulatory Framework for Nuclear Fuel Management SE0100130 Technical Report TR-01-03 Integrated account of method, site selection and programme prior to the site investigation phase Svensk Karnbranslehantering AB December 2000 Svensk Karnbranslehantering AB Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co Box 5864 SE-102 40 Stockholm Sweden Tel 08-459 84 00 +46 8 459 84 00 Fax 08-661 57 19 +46 8 661 57 19 PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALL OF THE MISSING PAGES IN THIS DOCUMENT WERE ORIGINALLY BLANK Integrated account of method, site selection and programme prior to the site investigation phase Svensk Karnbranslehantering AB December 2000 Preface The purpose of the ongoing siting process is to find a site on which it is possible to build a deep repository for encapsulated spent nuclear fuel that will be safe in the long term. This report summarizes the material SKB has gathered as a basis for the decisions that need to be made in order for SKB to commence site investigations for a deep repository. SKB's plan is that the investigations, which include test drilling, shall be initiated in 2002. The report contains the supplementary accounts which the Government request- ed in its decision on RD&D-Programme 98 regarding alternative methods, FUD material for site selection, and programme for the site investigations. Research, Development and SKB considers it urgent that the competent authorities and the Government Demonstration clarify in connection with their critical review whether the background material we present here can serve as a basis for: 1. adhering to the KBS-3 method as the most suitable alternative for Sweden and thereby a fundamental premise for the work in the site investigation phase, 2. proceeding with investigations and consultations on the selected sites in the manner proposed by SKB. After critical review by the regulatory authorities and the Government's decision, the concerned municipalities have to make a decision on whether or not to continue their participation in order that the nuclear waste programme can proceed to the next phase. We believe it is important to take this step in order to get on with implementing a safe disposal of the spent nuclear fuel. Stockholm, December 2000 Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company fL Peter Nygdrds Claes Thegerstrom President Executive Vice President in charge of Siting Reading instructions structure of this report Integrated account of method, site selection The report presents SKB's method and site selection as well as a propos- and programme prior to the site investigation ed programme for the next phase of the siting process. The background phase material in the form of SKB reports and other references is extensive. This report is therefore of a summarizing character. For access to the Ma'n references complete body of material, the reader is referred to the main references.

In the understanding of public health having both political and symbolic dimensions, the theoretical framework of Foucault and the concepts of governmentality and biopower are applied to the empirical material by means of qualitative research methods. The narratives of informants, including public health professionals, engaged members of civil society and individuals in the local LEADER area, are used to explore how public health is done through both explicit and implicit intentions.

Det finns nu 1 956 tätorter i Sverige. År 2010 upphörde 29 områden som tätorter på grund av minskad befolkning. 12 tätorter slogs samman med annan tätort och i en tätort är andelen fritidshus för hög för att den skall klassificeras som tätort. Flest nya tätorter har tillkommit i Stockholms län (16 st) och Skåne län (10 st). En tätort definieras kortfattat som ett område med sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Ingen hänsyn tas till kommun- eller länsgränser. 85 procent av landets befolkning bor i tätort År 2010 bodde 8 016 000 personer i tätorter, vilket motsvarar 85 procent av Sveriges hela befolkning. Tätortsbefolkningen ökade med 383 000 personer mellan 2005 och 2010. Störst har ökningen varit i Stockholms län, följt av Skå- ne och Västra Götaland län. Sju tätorter har fler än 100 000 invånare – Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Upp- sala, Västerås, Örebro och Linköping. Där bor sammanlagt 28 procent av Sveri- ges befolkning. Av samtliga tätorter har 118 stycken fler än 10 000 invånare och 795 stycken färre än 500 invånare. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten mätt som invånare per km2 har ökat från 1 446 till 1 491 under perioden.

Final reports describing the results of the six feasibility studies in Östhammar, Nyköping, Oskarshamn, Tierp, Älv- karleby and Hultsfred were submitted during the autumn and winter of 2000/2001. With this as a basis, the siting work can now proceed to the next phase – site investigations. In this stage, investigations that include test drilling will be conducted on at least two sites. In December 2000, SKB published the report “Integrated account of method, site selec- tion and programme prior to the site investigation phase,” in which SKB stipulates where they want to conduct site investigations and how they will be carried out. The report is being reviewed by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate during the first half of 2001. Before the site investigations can be initiated, the go-ahead is required from the national safety authorities, the Government, and concerned municipalities and landowners.

  • The Lönneberga Trail Stages 1 and 2
    Stages 1 and 2 #hikinghultsfred The Lönneberga Trail This trail crosses the northernmost part of Hultsfred municipality and conn- ects the East Coast Trail with Sevedeleden. The Lönneberga Trail belongs to Sweden’s network of lowland trails and is therefore marked in orange. We have divided it into five different stages (totalling some 60 km) and added 2 extra stretches, together about 20 km. For the most part, the trail is easy to walk, and if you want to spend the night along the way, there are windbreaks at reason- able intervals, as well as hostels and hotels. Walking the entire trail is a great experience, familiarising you with Småland’s richness of nature, culture and history. The Lönneberga Trail offers you a num- ber of fine lookouts and on the way, you will also come across many historical environments and ancient monuments. Share your experiences using #hikinghultsfred, so that more can discover Hultsfred’s beautiful countryside!
