(5.Oktober) The repository for thousands of tonnes of spent nuclear fuel will be 0.5 km below the surface and it is supposed to be built in the country by 2065.
The final decision on its location is to be made by the government by 2025. The total costs of its construction and operation are to reach about 111 billion crowns.
The search for the potential localities of the permanent underground repository relates to seven places across the Czech Republic. Last year, municipalities from five of the localities sued the state over the environment minister‘s decision to dismiss their objection to the permit for geological prospecting.
