The nuclear waste issue reaches a decision in Sweden, after 50 years.

Today, 27th of January 2022, the Swedish government approved the KBS-3 method for depositing nuclear waste in Sweden. This is a decision that has been 50 years in the making, and that created and shaped the debate on Swedish nuclear power in the 1970s.

“We need power, but where to get it from?”

After World War II, Sweden was building itself up as an industrial welfare nation. For that, we needed a reliable and ample supply of energy. But where to get it?

Historically, Sweden had been dependent on hydropower from the mighty Norrland rivers…

…and imported oil.

However, it was clear that this could not continue. The resistance to further exploit the Norrland rivers was massive. This was the first major environmental issue in Sweden, where people took to the streets to protect the environment. Soon it became clear that any talk of damming up the 4 untouched rivers would be political suicide.

Meanwhile, it was becoming painfully clear that using oil for energy production was causing environmental havoc, with acidification of rivers and lakes, cancerous hydrocarbons released into the cities, carbon dioxide threatening the climate. Yes, already in the 1960s, there was awareness that carbon emissions was a danger to the climate.

So what were the options?

  • Renewables, in the shape of wind, solar, and geothermal power
  • Nuclear power

When the government put out the question as a public enquiry, the result was — as then Prime Minister Olof Palme expressed it — “completely unanimous”, in that renewables could not play any major part before 1990. That was too late.

By process of elimination, nuclear power remained.

And so it was, 12 reactors were approved by Palme’s Social Democratic party government. By the late 1960s there was complete political unity on the issue: Sweden was to adopt nuclear power, for security in power supply, for the environment, for the climate.

The hunt for a profile issue

This unity would not last though. The Swedish system of governing is a multi-party system, divided into partisan politics by way of a left and a right bloc. The left bloc was comprised of, the Social Democratic Party and the — then called — Left Party Communists. The right bloc was led by the Centre Party, and also included the liberal People’s Party, the Christian Democrats and the Moderates.

The Centre Party — an ideologically green party — was looking for a profile issue to challenge the left bloc on. They found that issue when Swedish Nobel Prize laureate Hannes Alfvén in 1972 expressed concerns over nuclear waste. Alfvén and Centre Party leader Thorbjörn Fälldin met, and from these meetings the Centre Party crystalized a standpoint on nuclear power…

Palme as the incumbent Prime Minister and Fälldin as the challenger, debated nuclear power fiercely. And the primary argument against nuclear power was the issue of waste. Fälldin — before the 1976 general election — famously said that he would not “compromise with [his] conscience” while referring to the waste, and vowed to stop all further expansion of nuclear power in Sweden.

And lo and behold, the profile issue actually struck a chord with the electorate. For the first time in decades, since before WWII, Sweden had a right bloc government. Fälldin got to work on abolishing nuclear power in Sweden

A failed promise

Two years later — in the autumn of 1978 — Fälldin’s government fell. The reason for this demands explaining a peculiarity of the Swedish Instrument of Government.

As with most democracies, Swedish official power is divided into multiple entities. But where most nations split power in three, Sweden does it in four. Where others combine Executive and Administrative power, Sweden puts a firewall between these two.

The upshot of this is that Administration — which is largely apolitical — cannot be bossed around by the political Executive; Swedish ministers are practically forbidden from making administrative decisions.

Granting permits for nuclear power is an administrative decision. So revoking or preventing permits to build and operate nuclear power is something that a minister cannot do. Instead, this is the subject for an apolitical administrative authority. And apolitical administrative authorities do not care if you as a politician have election promises to fulfill.

Thus, the Centre Party’s plan for halting the expansion of nuclear power was to introduce a law that demanded anyone wishing to obtain a permit for nuclear power activities in Sweden to show an adequate proposal for dealing with waste. Fälldin was convinced — by Alfvén — that this was an unsolvable task.

However, little did he know that in 1976, two SOUs (“State Official Reports”) had pointed to the remarkable find of natural nuclear reactors in Oklo, Gabon, Africa, and shown that a deep geological repository was not just feasible but also very likely to be adequate.

The nuclear power companies applying for permits with the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate — the authority responsible for handing out nuclear power permits — referred to these reports, and other research papers from Gabon.

The Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate looked at this, and approved the permits.

Fälldin’s government suddenly had massive amounts of egg on their face. Feeling that they no longer had the vote of confidence by the Riksdag (Sweden’s unicameral parliament), the government resigned.

This was the beginning of the end of the — in this author’s opinion —only pragmatic argument against nuclear power.

A long and protracted end

As the reader is well aware, the 1970s and 80s were turbulent times for nuclear power.

The nuclear waste issue however, proceeded quietly. In 1984, a law was passed that established that the effort for creating a waste repository would be paid by the consumers. For many years, a levy on the electrical bill explicitly specified how much you as a consumer were paying to the Nuclear Waste Fund. This was counted at less than 1 öre per kWh (1 öre = 0.01 SEK, 1 SEK was valued at roughly 0.2 USD back then).

In close cooperation with first the Nuclear Power Inspectorate, later renamed to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), SKB, the company specifically created to engineer a solution for the waste, researched and designed what would later be presented as the KBS-3 solution.

In 2011, SKB submitted the proposal for approval.

SSM was the first toll gate. They asked for complementary research. SKB submitted that, and SSM passed the issue on.

Another toll gate was public approval. And in what seems a near bizarre twist to the story, the two counties proposed as sites for the repository, essentially fought each other over the issue, demanding to have the site located on their own grounds. Östhammar county won the battle, and was appointed as the site of the repository. Oskarhamns county got a “consolation prize” in the form of the encapsulation factory.

The third toll gate was the Land & Environment Court. They had little to say and swiftly approved the application.

Hence the application arrived at the final toll gate: the Swedish cabinet, and the desk of the Department for the Environment.

Just one small hitch there: the head of that department was a Green Party minister.

Quick rewind to 1978 again. The greens had just been humiliated on the issue of nuclear waste. Fälldin implored Palme to hold a referendum on the issue. Palme refused.

…until a pilot-operated relief valve jammed open in a brand-new unit at Three Mile Island.

Palme, seeing a nightmare of a summer leading up to the general election in September 1979, quickly agreed to the referendum, in order to remove the now politically radioactive issue from the table.

With the referendum, the greens again had high hope that the quick abolishment of nuclear power in Sweden would be achieved.

That did not happen. Instead, nuclear power was given a 30 year life-span in Sweden. The ideological greens were fuming at this, and quickly splintered out into a new party: the Environmental Party the Greens. First thing that went into the party programme was to declare nuclear power anathema.

Fast forward to 2021 again, and Green Party minister Per Bolund had on his table a paper to sign, a paper that — in effect — said that the Swedish government’s official position is that the nuclear power industry was right, and they did a great thing in solving the issue of waste, while the greens did nothing but fling dirt at them.

That paper remained unsigned for many months, and the political opposition began to accuse the government of stalling. Threats of constitutional hearings, even a vote of no confidence, were uttered.

The unexpected thaw

Then, suddenly, in late November 2021, the Green Party said “we are leaving the government”. The reason stated was domestic political issues, but the practical upshot of this was that a new minister for the environment was appointed, one that was not ideologically green.

The political opposition quickly swarmed the new minister — Annika Strandhäll — like disaster news on a nuclear event, and demanded a decision on the waste issue. Strandhäll delayed that decision over Yule 2021.

And — today — 27th of January 2022, the historical decision was announced…

KBS-3 is approved as a solution for high-level nuclear waste in Sweden.

50 years of waiting is over.

“If the world were to adopt nuclear power, where would all of the waste go?”

A surprisingly good outreach platform has turned out to be Quora.com, a Q&A site where people ask questions and let anyone answer. So I will be replicating some of my answers from there to here. Enjoy…

Nature showed us how to do it, and it works great!

This is a nuclear waste repository, that held waste for 2 billion years.

(image source)

Yes, you read that right: 2,000,000,000 years. That is 20,000 times more than what we consider to be adequate for a repository. And the only reason it is not longer than that is because…

a. that is how much time has passed since the waste was created

b. the waste has now decayed, completely. [1]

In the 1970’s, the Uranium ore find at Oklo, Gabon, Africa, gathered attention, because there was something “wrong” with the ore. It was as if the Uranium had already been used in a reactor.

As it turned out, it had indeed been in a reactor, a natural reactor. Billions of years back the isotope mix of Uranium was more like that we use in artificial reactors today. So all it needed was a bit of water to moderate the neutrons and — voilà! — nuclear fission, just like we do it today.

Nuclear fission means nuclear waste. These natural reactors also made waste. That meant a golden opportunity for us to examine what happened to the waste. The conclusion was astounding:

The waste stayed in place and moved less than 10 feet / 3 meters

This is despite the fact that the waste…

  • was not packaged in fuel bundles
  • was not encapsulated
  • was subjected to violent temperature swings (these reactors worked in cycles of a few hours)
  • was washed through by water for hundreds of thousands of years

The chief finding was that long-lived waste — the Transuraniums like Plutonium and Americium and other such Actinides — binds chemically to rock in a reducing environment and remains entirely immobile.

This is the key to why geological repositories work. Nature told us so. And that is why we are building repositories that way.

The Swedish KBS-3 method builds on the findings of Oklo and further research since the 1970’s. KBS-3 is already approved in Finland, and is in the process of being approved in Sweden.

KBS-3 — besides using the reducing environment of the bedrock — also adds the following barriers.

  • The fuel remains in the fuel rods, i.e. clad in Zirconium alloy. They are then placed in…
  • Cast iron holders. The cast iron ensures rigidity, toughness, and that the environment will remain reducing even if water enters the…
  • 2 inch / 50 mm thick corrosion resistant copper capsule that encapsulates the fuel bundles and their holder. That capsule is then surrounded by…
  • A layer of water absorbent Bentonite clay. The clay acts as soft padding to keep the capsule from being subjected to movements of the bedrock. It is also meant to be wet, because when it wets it swells to a pressure of 50 atmospheres, and is pressed into all the cracks and fissures around…
  • The bore hole, made 500 meters down into geologically stable bedrock, with a reducing environment and only small water movement.

The only thing that the Oklo reactors had was the reducing environment, and that alone held the waste in place for 2 billion years. KBS-3 will do the job.

So anyone that says there is no plan or no method or no site to deal with nuclear waste, is speaking — put in the plainest of the Queen’s English — complete and utter bollocks.


Footnotes

[1] The half-life of Plutonium-239 is: \[t_{1/2}= 24,100 y\]

So the tenth-life of Pu-239 is: \[t_{1/10} = t_{1/2} \left(\frac{ln(10)}{ln(2)}\right) \Rightarrow\]

\[t_{1/10} = 24,100 \cdot 3.32 \approx 80,000 y\]

So 2 billion years makes for…

\[2,000,000,000 / 80,000 = 25,000\]

…25,000 tenth-lives.

After about 110 or so tenth-lives, the original amount would have had to fill out the entirety of the known observable universe in order to have one atom left.

Välkommen till 2000-talet Katarina Mazetti…

Skall man sammanfatta Katarina Mazettis artikel “Piskor, Tjernobyl och hur du genomskådar den offentliga lögnen” på några få ord så är “Oavsiktlig ironi” ett rätt passande omdöme… för just “offentlig lögn” är väl just det man kan kalla hennes typ av raljant orerande.

Hon pratar om “Vinklad information som inte går att bevisa” och jämför det med Orwells Newspeak… vilket är ironiskt för hela hennes artikel är just detta. Tja om man nu kan kalla det för “information” för det finns inte ett enda stycke fakta i artikeln som hon hänvisar till. Enda undantaget är att hon hävdar att en av linjerna i folkomröstningen om kärnkraft 1980 var ett “ja” när i själva verket folket bara fick rösta på avveckling, avveckling och snabb avveckling.

Detta för oss tillbaks till rubriken… “hur man avslöjar en offenlig lögn”. Svaret på frågan på den frågan – ett svar som inte hon inte ens ger i artikeln utan det bara antyds att den långa svadan i överlägsen ton på något sätt är ett sådant avslöjande – heter: Internet. Välkommen till 2000-talet Katarina. Där duger det inte med att du får in en artikel i en tidning och sedan är den “sanning” så länge som dig slänger dig med retoriska “frågor”, vinklade antydningar och felaktig information; därför att jag som läsare kan inom en minut kolla upp dina påståenden.Och som Svenska Wikipedia upplyser oss – med fullständiga citat av valsedlarna – fick den del av Svenska folket som faktiskt ville ha kärnkraft inget “Ja” alternativ att rösta på.

Ironiskt också att Katarina Mazetti utkräver ansvar av “kärnkraftskramarna” när det är hon och andra kärnkraftshatare som står med skägget i brevlådan. De fick allt det de ville ha: en riggad omröstning som bara kunde få “avveckling” som resultat, ett beslut i Riksdag om avveckling med slut-datum, en tankeförbudslag som gjorde det straffbart med böter eller fängelse att ens skriva på papper vad en ny kraftreaktor skulle kosta i Sverige, en avvecklingslag som gav Regeringen rätt att – utan att tillfråga Riksdagen – stänga reaktorer. Ni fick allt ni villa he… alla förutsättningar att infria era löften om “Sol vind och vatten, gröna berg och djupa ha-aa-av!”.

35 år senare… hur långt har de kommit? Inte ett dugg på vägen. Koldioxidhalterna nu över 400ppm och två-gradersmålet börja ligga rejält risigt till. Under tiden har kärnkraftsbolagen nu lämnat in ansökan om att få bygga ett fungerande, säkert slutförvar. De tog sitt ansvar, men det gjorde inte avvecklingivrarna utan de fortsätter charaden och hävdar att “snart” är kärnkraften utbytt… vänta bara lite till. Men hur länge kan vi vänta innan klimatet är förstört på rikigt?

Och för övrigt finns det gott om kvinnor och/eller feminister som – på ett långt mer övertygande och vältaligt sätt än Katarina Mazetti raljanta artikel – förklarar varför ett fritt och informerat deltagande i BDSM är avsevärt mycket bättre feminism än hennes arrogantna och argumentslösa avfärdande av dessa människors val.

Hur avslöjar man en “offentlig lögn”, så som Katarina Mazetti’s artikel “Piskor, Tjernobyl och hur du genomskådar den offentliga lögnen”? Det är enkelt: läs lögnen och sök svar på frågan “stämmer det hon säger verkligen?”. Med en dator och internetkoppling blir det förbluffande enkelt.

Twitter “diskussion” med Lise Nordin

Dags att väcka stället till liv igen…

Ikväll gav sig NPYP ut på Twitter igen och hamnade i diskussion med Lise Nordin, miljöpartiets inrikespolitiska talesperson.

Diskussionen gick ett tag… men sedan försöker Lise helt plötsligt spåra ur den med två klassiker på raken:

Billigt Lise… riktigt billigt. Sedan när är argumenten beroende av vem som framställer dem?

Och sedan lyckas du inte – av någon outgrundlig anledning – göra något så enkelt som att klicka på @NPYP och se varifrån postningarna kommer.

Nåja, du frågade, så detta är svaret: Nuclear Power Yes Please – NPYP – är ett nätverk av människor som tycker att kärnkraft är en bra sak att ha med i en bred, ren och hållbar energimix. Den som satt bakom spakarna på Twitter-kontot ikväll var jag – Michael Karnerfors – en av grundarna.

Så… nu kan diskussionen forsätta Lise….

Interview and Q & A with Robert Stone vs Greenpeace

On November 25, 2013, there was a screening in Stockholm of  Robert Stone’s pro-nuclear film “Pandora’s Promise“, co-arranged by the department of Reactor Physics at the Royal Institute of Technology, Analysgruppen, and Swedish Society for Nuclear Technology (SKS). There are a few clips from the accompanying interview with Stone, a panel debate and Q&A from the audience. The panel debate is in Swedish, the rest in English.

Here is – what I find – an amusing attempt by Isadora Wronski, the anti-nuclear campaign leader for Greenpeace Nordic, trying to upstage Stone. The result? Well… see for yourselves.

I have heard from people present at the debate that Wronski was clearly displaying anger at not succeeding in fiddling with the numbers.

The rest of the videos are available at SKS’s YouTube page.

Sweden’s largest utility applies to start building new reactors

Sweden’s largest utility – state-owned Vattenfall – which today owns seven of Sweden’s ten nuclear power reactors – has applied to commence planning building new reactors with Sweden’s nuclear regulators: the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority.

Application received for construction of new nuclear power reactors

Vattenfall AB submitted an application to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority today concerning replacement of up to two of the company’s existing nuclear power reactors.  According to Vattenfall, this step facilitates an analysis of the preconditions for a possible future investment in new reactors.

Short history of nuclear power in Sweden:

Late 1930’s-1940s’s: Jewish-born Lise Meitner flees Austria after Nazi-germany annexes it. Ends up at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. There she is made member of an advisory group that soon after the war recommends that Sweden develop nuclear power.

1950’s: Reactor 1 (R1) is built at KTH. It is a heavy water moderated research reactor. Sweden aims – secretly – to become self-sufficient regarding nuclear power and atomic weapons.

1960’s: R2 and R2-0 – pool-type reactors – are built in Studsvik. R3 – a heavy water moderated reactor that delivers electricity and distric heating – is taken into operation in Farsta, a suburb of Stockholm. R4 however – a combined heavy water boiler and plutonium breeder design – fails miserably as it becomes obvious that swapping out fuel during normal operation of a boiler reactor is grossly impractical. The reactor is never built and a oil fired boiler is put in its place to drive the built turbines and generator. The nuclear weapons program is put on hold and eventually scrapped. Private netures begin projecting light water reactors instead.

1970’s: The Swedish Center Party – wishing to adopt an “environmental profile” – meet with Nobel prize laureate -Hannes Alfvén and are made to believe that Plutonium contamination will be inevitable is nuclear power is used. They begin campaigning against nuclear power. The first privately owned commersial reactors into operation from 1971 and onwards. The nuclear debate rages hotter and more intense towards the end of the decade, even causing the fall of one govenment cabinet. The Three Mile Island accident makes all politicla parties to agree on a referendum.

1980: The referendum is held… but the choices the people get to vote for are three “lines” of action, all of them meaning the abandoning of nuclear power in Sweden. “Line 2” wins, meaning that “nuclear power will discontinued when suitable replacements are in operation and provided that work and well-being are not compromised”. The Swedish parliament puts into law that no new power reactors will be built, and that in the year 2010 all nuclear power shall be closed in Sweden.

1986: As a result of the Chernobyl accident, Sweden receives large amounts of contamination. The so-called “Thought-ban” – which makes planning, designing or even calculating the cost of a new power reactor in Sweden punishable by fines or jail up to two years – is put into effect the following year.

1997: A bi-partisan agreement is made between the then government and the Center party. The government is given legal power to order the closure of any of Sweden’s twelve power reactors without going through parliament. Also the end date of 2010 is lifted.

1999 and 2005: Using the powers mentioned above, the two nuclear reactors at Barsebäck nuclear power plant are shut down permanently.

2006: The “Thought-ban” is lifted after 20 years as it is concluded that all development of nuclear technology in Sweden has ceased… including safety improvements.

2009-2010: The “Alliance for Sweden” coalition government reaches an agreement that the ban on nuclear power in Sweden shall be lifted.

2011: The Fukushima accident sparks an intense flurry of debate… which then oddly enough dies out completely after about six months and doesn’t come back until the end of the year.

Slutreplik: “Kärnkraftsmotståndarna ger oss skenande elpriser”

Detta är en längre och mer utförlig version av vår slutreplik till Lise Nordin i SvD.

Lise Nordins respons på vår kritik mot hennes klipp & klistra-debatterande mot Alliansens energiuppgörelse lämnade majoriteten av våra argument obesvarade.

De senaste decenniernas rödgröna kärnkraftsmotstånd har enbart givit oss dåligt fungerande kärnkraft och rusande el-priser vintertid. Att Alliansen ersatt denna politik med en uppgörelse som tillåter kärnkraft – samtidigt som den också satsar på förnybart och energieffektiviseringar – är därför en förödande prestigeförlust för de rödgröna. Nordins svar bekräftar att hennes attack är pajkastning och partipolitiskt käbbel för att dölja detta misslyckande.

Nordin upprepar påståendet att ersättningstaket för en olycka är satt till 12 miljarder. Detta är – som redan påpekats – felaktigt. Hon kompletterar påståendet med lite löst handviftande om konkurs, men det är inte ett seriöst svar.

Hon kommenterar inte vårt argument att det är rätt och rimligt att staten täcker topprisker, därför att det är en av nationalstatens huvuduppgifter. Istället försöker hon väcka ilska genom att hävda att “skattebetalarna” betalar för en olycka. Till detta kan vi i så fall tillägga att eftersom vi skattebetalare – privatpersoner och företag – är de som nyttjar den el som kärnkraften förser oss med är det i högsta grad rimligt att vi också solidariskt betalar för eventuella extrautgifter. Vi gör det redan idag i och med kärnavfallsfonden som finaniseras direkt från vår elräkning och detta tycks Nordin inte ha något emot. Dessutom mjölkas kärnkraften via effektskatten på mer pengar än vad en fonderingspremie skulle kosta.

Nordin hävdar att kärnkraften inte kan försäkras, för inga försäkringsbolag skulle vilja göra det. Att olycksfonder, likt USA’s Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, kan lösa försäkringsfrågan verkar hon inte vilja kännas vid. På samma sätt ignorerar hon också vår kritik mot dubbelmoralen i att enbart ställa detta “försäkringskrav” på kärnkraft och inte på andra verksamheter som har samma eller högre risker. (exempel på andra riskindustrier borde nämnas och argumentet förstoras, det är i mina ögon en av huvudargumenten mot Nordin och viktigaste budskapet till läsarna, kärnkraftens olycksrisk är inte unik. Efter att ha läst artikeln borde läsarna ha fått upp ögonen för att kemifabriken, raffinaderiet eller oljehamnen runt hörnet är precis lika “stor och läskig” som en kärnreaktor)

Resten av Nordins svar är gamla slitna floskler om kärnkraften. Vi besvarar dem i korthet.

62 kraft-reaktorer är under uppförande i världen just nu. USA, Ryssland, Japan, Pakistan, Slovakien, Ukraina, Argentina, Brasilien, Finland, Frankrike, Indien, Kina bygger kraftreaktorer. De senaste åtta åren är det enbart två länder som i förtid stängt ned fungerande reaktorer: Sverige och Tyskland. Den nedläggnings-“trend” Nordin försöker hävda existerar inte.

Kärnkraft har i Sverige de lägsta utsläppen av klimatgaser av de olika kraftslagen. En livscykelanalys (LCA) från Vattenfall år 2005 visar att svensk kärnkraft har utsläpp på 3 gram koldioxid per kWh levererad till hushållskund. Vattenkraften ligger på 5 g/kWh, vindkraft på 10 g/kWh, solkraft på ca 70 g/kWh. Och den reservkraft som vi måste starta för att vi inte har kapacitet nog att täcka vårt effekt-behov de kallaste vinterdagarna ligger enligt samma LCA på 1300 g/kWh. Att i det läget påstå att kärnkraft inte bidrar till vår rena energimix är verklighetsfrämmande.

Kärnkraftsmotståndarna har i över 30 år lovat och försäkrat att kärnkraften är lätt att avskaffa. De senaste vintrarna har vi sett att det löftet var noll och inget värt. När vi ändå talar försäkringar undrar vi försynt vem som försäkrar oss elkunder mot de skenande elpriser som kärnkraftsmotståndet lett till. Thorbjörn Fälldin, Birgitta Dahl, Olof Johansson, Lise Nordin och de andra kärnkraftsmotståndarna verkar inte beredda att hala upp plånboken för ersätta oss för deras ouppfyllda löften. Så vem skall betala det?
