GENERAL INTRODUCTION
In April, 1977, the Swedish Government passed the "Stipulation Law"
(Villkorslagen) (l) according to which a power utility may not obtain a permit to
begin operation of a new nuclear power plant until it has demonstrated either:
1) that it has a contract under which the need for reprocessing of spent fuel is
reliably taken care of, and
2) that it has a plan for final disposal of the high active waste in a way which is
absolutely safe ("belt säker")
or that it has a plan for final disposal of spent fuel without reprocessing in a way
which is absolutely safe.
In December, 1977, the Swedish nuclear power industry issued a report of such a
plan, called the "KBS report". ("KBS" in Swedish stands for "Nuclear Fuel Safety")
The report calls for depositing the vitrified high active waste in deep granitoid
formations.
