Information in English

In this section, we have gathered the information available in English concerning the disposal of radioactive waste in Denmark

Parliamentary Resolution B48/2003 laid the foundation for subsequent decommissioning activity and planning for a long-term solution for radioactive waste management in Denmark.

Resolution B 90/2018 was adopted unanimously by Danish Parliament on 15 May 2018. The resolution outlines Denmark's national policy and programme for radioactive waste and spent fuel management.

Parliamentary Resolution B90/2018 is based on a number of background studies, some of which have been translated into English:

    In 2020, Denmark notified a National Programme under the Council Directive 2011/70/EURATOM of 19 July 2011 on the responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste.

    The National Programme provides an overview of Danish policy objectives and management systems regarding radioactive waste with the aim of serving as a key reference for the public and stakeholders, as well as for the notification of the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the abovementioned directive.

    In 2022, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland published a study of characterisation and evaluation of geological properties and conditions at 500 metres depth in Denmark.
