Working closely with implementer organisations

SKB International supports the implementation of radioactive waste disposal programmes. Our references cover several hundred contracts for clients in more than 20 countries.

Programme Management

In the area of Programme Management we offer support to build a cost effective system. This includes legislation, organisation, funding, strategies, system planning, RD&D planning etc.

RD&D

Our services in Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) help to provide the scientific and engineering basis for design, construction and operation of facilities.

Engineering

SKB International offers engineering solutions using SKB engineers and a range of specialist firms in Sweden and abroad.

Siting

We offer support for broad feasibility studies as well as detailed investigations into suitable host rock formations and candidate sites.

Safety and Environmental Impact Assessments

Post-closure and Operational Safety Assessments as well as Environmental Impact Assessment are key activities guiding RD&D and siting. We provide world-leading services in this field based on methodology developed by SKB.

Stakeholder Communication

Stakeholder Communication is a most demanding task in a radioactive waste disposal programme. We offer our support how to work together and establish dialogue with the many stakeholders at national, regional and local level.

Licensing

SKB has submitted its applications required by the Nuclear Activities Act and the Environmental Code to the Radiation Safety Authority and to the Land and Environment Court for permits to build

• a Spent Fuel Repository at Forsmark,
