The Swedish government has authorized the construction of a nuclear waste storage facility, which is supposed to be safe for the next 100,000 years.
Sweden is one of the most advanced countries in Europe in this area.
In the small village of Östhammar located 150 kilometers north of Stockholm, the project has been validated by elected officials and residents.
A project that curiously raises very little opposition.
