Switzerland confirmed on Monday that its favoured location for a 20 billion Swiss franc ($20.94 billion) underground nuclear waste storage site was an area north of Zurich, close to the German border.
The company behind the project to store the country's nuclear waste for at least the next 200,000 years, the National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste , proposed northern Laegern for the site, which is due to become operational in 2050.
" is the best location with the best safety. The core of the deep store is this grey and inconspicuous stone ... here time practically stands still." NAGRA will seek a government licence for the scheme, which is intended to store waste from Switzerland's four nuclear power stations, at the end of 2024, with parliament and the Swiss government likely to decide on approval in 2029.
