This report concerns a study which was conducted for SKB. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily coincide with those of the client. $EVWUDFW Since the mid-1970s, the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) has been carrying out geoscientific research and feasibility studies aimed at identifying suitable sites for deep repositories in the Precambrian basement of the Baltic Shield. The documentation of this research effort forms an extensive body of material which is exceptionally wide-ranging and which is generally little known out- side the Swedish nuclear waste community. This has now been compiled in the form of a “documentation guide” in order to make the research results more easily accessi- ble to the scientific community at large, and to show how they relate to their “nearest surroundings”, i.e. the relevant academic scientific literature and the documentation of similar research by other institutions, in Sweden and in other countries (Finland, Can- ada). The documentation covers the period 1976–2000 and contains ca. 850 citations, of which about half are technical reports published by SKB and its forerunners. In the main body of the guide (Chapters 2–9), the material is arranged thematically and the scope of the documentation in each theme is described and commented in short texts, showing the interrelationships between the individual reports and scientific papers, with appropriate cross-references. Early chapters (2–5, and 7) cover general themes: bedrock geology, fracturing, glaciation and crustal dynamics, deep groundwater, and geosphere transport, each subdivided into citation groups under headings which are of particular interest to the Swedish deep repository siting programme. Later chapters (6, and 8–9) include thumb-nail sketches of the Swedish study sites (Finnsjön, Fjällveden, Gideå, Kamlunge, Klipperås, Sternö), the underground laboratory sites of Stripa and Äspö, and comparable sites in Finland and Canada, as well as the complete documen- tation to the feasibility studies carried out in eight Swedish municipalities between 1993 and 2000 (Storuman, Malå, Nyköping, Östhammar, Oskarshamn, Tierp, Älvkar- leby, Hultsfred). As added background, Chapter 10 contains a compilation of SKB conceptual studies and planning documents, and related material from other Swedish institutions. A complete bibliography is appended as the final chapter. 3 6DPPDQIDWWQLQJ Sedan mitten av 1970-talet har Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB) och dess föregångare genomfört geovetenskaplig forskning och förstudier, med målet att finna lämpliga områden för djupförvar i den svenska delen av Baltiska Sköldens prekam- briska berggrund. Dokumentationen av denna forskning är omfattande och täcker ett mycket brett forskningsfält, men är i allmänhet föga känd utanför interessesfären kring svensk kärnavfallshantering. Materialet har nu sammanställts i denna ”dokumentations- guide” för att därmed göra forskningsresultaten mera lättillgängliga för vetenskaps- samhället i stort. Dessutom visas hur materialet anknyter till relevant vetenskaplig lit- teratur och dokumentation av likartad forskning utförd av andra institutioner i Sverige och andra länder (Finland och Kanada). Dokumentationen täcker perioden 1976–2000 och innehåller cirka 850 referenser, av vilka ungefär hälften är tekniska rapporter publicerade av SKB eller dess föregångare. I guidens huvuddel (kapitlen 2–9) är materialet tematiskt organiserat och dokumenta- tionens omfång inom varje tema beskrivs och kommenteras i korta texter. Dessutom förklaras inbördes samband mellan olika rapporter och vetenskapliga publikationer och relevanta korsreferenser ges. De inledande kapitlen (2–5 och 7) täcker generella teman: berggrundsgeologi, sprickbildning, nedisning och jordskorpans dynamik, djupt grund- vatten och transport av radionuklider i geosfären. Varje tema är indelat i citerings- grupper under rubriker som är av speciellt intresse för det Svenska djupförvarspro- grammet. De följande kapitlen (6 och 8–9) inkluderar korta beskrivningar av SKB:s typområden (Finnsjön, Fjällveden, Gideå, Kamlunge, Klipperås, Stenö), underjords- laboratorierna i Stripa och Äspö, och av jämförbara objekt i Finland och Kanada. Här ingår också den kompletta dokumentationen från de förstudier som utförts i åtta kom- muner mellan 1993 och 2000 (Storuman, Malå, Nyköping, Östhammar, Oskarshamn, Tierp, Älvkarleby, Hultsfred). Som bakgrundmaterial ger kapitel 10 en sammanställning av SKB:s metodstudier och planeringsdokument och relaterat material från andra svenska institutioner.

As part of the siting programme for the deep repository, the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) has been carrying out feasibility studies (“Förstudier”) in eight different municipalities, with a view to identi- fying suitable areas for more detailed investigation (including deep drilling). Two of the feasibility studies (Storuman and Malå) were completed in 1995 and 1997 respectively, and the remaining six (Östhammar, Nyköping, Oskarshamn, Hultsfred, Tierp, Älvkarle- by) in year 2000. In December 2000, SKB published a report stating where they want to conduct more detailed investigations (site investigations) and how these investigations would be carried out. The report has later been subject to review by the safety authori- ties followed by a decision by the Swedish government, authorising SKB to proceed to site investigations. The process of obtaining permission by the municipalities concerned is currently under way. SKB expects to be able to commence the site investigations in 2002. An important component in the feasibility studies consisted of a compilation of all available geoscientific information for the municipality in question and its interpreta- tion in terms of favourable areas for carrying out further investigations.

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.

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!

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

Special thanks go to the team-coordinator of the DORA project at the Arkleton Centre headed by Prof. John Bryden and his team composed of Anja Timm, Jane Atterton, Paul Courtney, Keith Hart and Gilian Munro. Also to others research partners, in Germany, Helmut Schrader, Gerd Hachmöller, Birgit Koch and Lars Masurek and in Greece, Sofia Efstratoglou, Emmanouela Kourossi and Angelos Efstratoglou. The Swedish DORA team would like to thank the members of the National Steering Group who actively contributed with valuable comments during the development of this project: Birgit Wiberg, Ulla Herlitz, Harry Leiman, Ola Rörling, Maria Gustafsson, Wolfgang Pitcher and Lennart Linqvist. Thanks also to Miriam Stephan, a visiting student to Nordregio from Aalborg University, Denmark that directly contributed to the section on ‘investments’ for the Swedish study areas.
