The date for the opinion of the Swedish Land and Environmental Court to the Swedish government on the planned spent fuel repository in Forsmark has been moved from December 20 to January 23. The reason for this decision, announced by the court on December 5, is the magnitude of the court case.

Johan Swahn, the director of MKG has written a text for Nuclear Transparency Watch (NTW) on the on-going licensing process in the Swedish environmental court for the proposed final repository at the Forsmark NPP. The court held its so-called "main hearing" in September and October and will give its opinion to the government on January 23.

The Environmental Court’s main hearing concerning the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company SKB’s license application for a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, Sweden, began September 5, at Quality Hotel Nacka in Stockholm.
