Official response of SKB´s choice of site

Photo Anna-Lena Söderblom- SKB has chosen Östhammars municipality because it believes that it is a long term secure solution to store the spent fuel in the municipality, says the Östhammar Municipal Deputy Mayor Anna-Lena Söderblom (M).

 

 

Photo Jacob Spangenberg- A repository in Östhammar is of great importance to the municipality, particularly in three areas: new jobs, better roads and communications and most likely more  inhabitants and visitors, says Mayor Jacob Spangenberg (C). Until the final government decision, the municipality’s main task is to monitor and review the SKB´s application.

 

Photo Margareta Widén-Berggren- If the Swedish government gives a green light to SKB's application and proposes that if the repository can be located here,  it will be very positive for Östhammar municipality, says second Deputy Mayor Margareta Widen-Berggren (S). At the same time I would like to forward our sincere thanks to Oskarshamn Municipality for our cooperation for more than 15 years.
