Welcome to the Swedish NGO Office for Nuclear Waste Review (MKG)

The Swedish NGO Office for Nuclear Waste Review (MKG) is an organisation established in 2004 by the Swedish environmental movement. Within the coming years an application for the construction of a Swedish geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel will be made by the nuclear industry. MKG is participating in the consultation process as a critical voice. The goal of the organisation is to assure that the method and location for the disposition of Swedish nuclear waste meets the highest long-term standards for health and environment.

The Swedish name of the organisation is Miljöorganisationernas kärnavfallsgranskning (MKG) and the largest member organisation is the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation. MKG receives funding from the Board of the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund.
