"Switzerland picks site near German border for nuclear waste storage
In ‘project of the century’, country will bury spent nuclear fuel deep underground in clay
Swiss authorities have selected a site in northern Switzerland not far from the German border to host a deep geological storage repository for radioactive waste.
After nearly 50 years of searching for the best way to store its radioactive waste, Switzerland is gearing up for its “project of the century”, entailing burying spent nuclear fuel deep underground in clay.
The organisation in charge of handling the country’s radioactive waste said on Saturday it had decided that the Nördlich Lägern region was the best of three sites it had been considering for the underground storage facility."
