"Thank you, Mr President. For decommissioning of the plant, the Swedish model could perhaps be adopted, in which at the moment the money – SEK 0.02 per kilowatt-hour sold, roughly 0.3 of a euro cent – is sent to the Swedish national bank, where it is kept safe no matter what may happen to the enterprises and is ready to be used for decommissioning.
With regard to radioactive waste, I would like to mention a specifically Danish problem. We have no nuclear reactors of our own, but we do have waste – 200-300 kg of highly radioactive waste – from the time when we thought we were going to make fuel elements.
If we must dump it in Denmark, as the current rules state, it will cost a very, very great deal. If, on the other hand, Denmark were allowed – under new rules, as indicated by the Commissioner, particularly on cooperation between different countries – to add its 200 kg or so of radioactive waste to the many tonnes of highly radioactive waste from the big countries, I doubt that anyone would object to its doing so. This would be advantageous overall to the economy of the EU, although naturally it would be subject to the recipient country in question being happy to receive it. That is not an option available to us at present, since each country is obliged to take back its own highly radioactive waste. This makes no sense in the case of small countries, which have only a small amount of medical and other waste."@en1
