Spent fuel repository in Finland: This is how we did it
Member States Side Events
Finland is expected to be the first in the world to safely dispose spent nuclear fuel in the deep geological repository of ONKALO?, which is nearly ready for operation. Join us to learn how we have followed our national strategy and implementation roadmap through site selection, concept development, design, construction, commissioning and licensing steps. Key lessons will be shared regarding domestic and international cooperation, and how we have maintained this path and overcome hurdles to achieve this major worldwide milestone. Perspective will be shared through presentations and a panel discussion with the operator, owners, regulator, ministry and supply chain members. This event is organized by Finland.
This event will be held on Monday, 15 September 2025, from 4.00 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. in Conference Room M6, M Building, ground floor.
