Introduction.

ELKRAFT and ELSAM together investigated the possibilities of disposing of 
radioactive waste in salt domes in Northern Jutland. The work was carried out in 
two phases: initial investigations based on the geological knowledge then available 
were carried out from 1977 to 1978 (phase 1). From then and until the beginning 
of 1981, extensive geological investigations including material testing were carried 
out (phase 2). A safety evaluation was prepared on the basis of these findings. The 
purpose of this was to demonstrate that high-level waste could safely be deposited 
in the Mors salt dome. It was not the purpose of the report to select the Mors dome 
as that preferable for this purpose. The final selection ot a repository dome, if such 
a dome is to be used, will not take place until about 40-50 years hence in a third 
phase that would include the actual designing of the repository, including an 
application to the Minister for the Environment for a construction permit.
