We welcome groups of visitors from schools, companies, associations etc. throughout the year. Contact us for more information and to book a visit.

The following facilities can arrange visits:

Forsmark

SFR – The Final Repository for Short-Lived Radioactive Waste
The SFR is where low and intermediate-level operational waste from Swedish nuclear power stations is deposited. The facility, which is close to the Forsmark nuclear power station, also deals with some radioactive waste from other industrial applications, health care and research.

The Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory
The Äspö HRL north of Oskarshamn is a research facility for the construction of the future Spent Fuel Repository. Here we do research and undertake full-scale experiments at a depth of 450 metres in Swedish bedrock. This gives us the knowledge needed to be able to construct a secure final repository in the future.

Discover the Underground
On some Saturdays during the year and during a few weeks each summer we offer guided tours of the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory. We demonstrate and describe the work we are doing to ensure a safe future. Information about the tour.

Clab – Central Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Our interim storage facility, Clab, is at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant. This is where we keep all the spent nuclear fuel from Swedish nuclear power plants. It will eventually be sealed in canisters and transferred to the future Spent Fuel Repository.

Canister Laboratory
Before the spent nuclear fuel is placed in the Spent Fuel Repository it will be sealed into copper canisters with inserts of nodular cast iron. At the Canister Laboratory at Oskarshamn we are developing techniques for welding the lids and bottom plates to the copper canisters. The canisters are inspected using ultrasound.
