EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger force EU governments to deal with long-term radioactive waste 2025
wants to put a stop to the current practice where EU member states, which do not want to store spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste on their territory, can pay countries outside the bloc to do the job for them. “We do not want to export nuclear waste to non-EU countries, that is a cheap solution ... we want full disposal of fuel in our territory, that means everyone has to take responsibility for their waste,” he told reporters in Brussels. Oettinger presented a draft EU directive that would force EU governments to deal with long-term radioactive waste - currently stored in interim facilities that only have a 50-100 year lifespan - by burying it hundreds of meters underground. France, Sweden and Finland have already committed to have so-called deep underground geological repositories operational between 2020 and 2025.
The facilities would have to deal with material that can stay radioactive for up to one million years
