torrförvarslokal
A torrförvarslokal, often translated as a dry storage facility or dry depot, is a type of facility designed for the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste materials. These facilities are characterized by their robust construction and engineered safety features aimed at isolating the radioactive materials from the environment and protecting them from external threats. The primary function of a torrförvarslokal is to provide a secure and stable environment for waste that is still highly radioactive and generates heat.
The design of a torrförvarslokal typically involves thick concrete structures, often with steel liners, to contain
These facilities are intended as an interim solution, as the ultimate disposal of high-level radioactive waste
