ARGONA Project, RISCOM Model and the Czech Republic (March 18, 2009)

The ARGONA end Users Conference in Uppsala, Sweden, on March 17-18, 2009 created attention in local news media.

An article in Uppsala Nya Tidning, the leading newspaper in the Uppsala region where the Forsmark nuclear power station is situated, told about the RISCOM process that the ARGONA project had initiated in the Czech Republic. Kjell Andersson explained that RISCOM is about increasing clarity about technically difficult and controversial issues by challenging the arguments of different stakeholders. The article noted that the Czech process is not without problems, referring to Lucie Steinerova at RAWRA, the Czech equivalent to SKB. She said that there has been a lack of debate in the Czech Republic, and that this is the first open model used to involve all decision makers. Lucie Riad at the Uppsala Regional Council said that in Sweden the problem is not to get access to information but rather the lack of interest in the nuclear waste issue.

The article, written by  Eva Nevelius,  was published on March 18, 2009 in Uppsala Nya Tidning http://www2.unt.se
