Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC)
Swedish National Workshop - Dialogue and Transparency When a Site and Method are Licensed
23-24 September 2024
Workshop objective
The workshop objective is to increase the understanding of general questions such as:
- How open and/or transparent can the process after an approval of a deep geological repository be?
- Why is participation important in the implementation phase and what role can external actors play?
- Whom should the participation involve? (Including younger generations).
- What information do different actors need to have? How can this be met and by whom?
- How can continued stakeholder involvement be financed?
The workshop objectives can also include increasing the understanding of some more specific topics when it comes to what the participation could be about. For example:
Preservation of information and knowledge as a national and local concern
In the workshop the FSC members will learn from Sweden´s advanced programme, which can be useful even in earlier phases of other programmes. The FSC members and other stakeholders will also give external reflections that the Swedish process can benefit from.

The anticipated audience of this workshop includes:
- FSC members – including youth involvement in radioactive waste management;
- Social science researchers from Sweden and abroad;
- Stakeholders from other countries;

Workshop och möte om förtroende och deltagande i slutförvaringsprocessen 23-24 september
Både nationellt och internationellt har det visat sig att allmänhetens förtroende är av avgörande betydelse när kärnavfall och använt kärnbränsle ska hanteras och förvaras slutgiltigt under mycket lång tid. Ett sätt att bygga och bibehålla detta förtroende är genom deltagande och öppenhet.
Sverige är, tillsammans med Finland, det enda land i världen där regeringen har godkänt ett slutförvar för använt kärnbränsle. Innan regeringens beslut var allmänhetens deltagande en självklar och viktig del av processen. Nu är frågan hur vi i Sverige kan fortsätta att stärka förtroendet genom deltagande efter regeringens beslut, särskilt med tanke på att bygget av ett slutförvar sträcker sig över flera decennier.
För att utforska dessa frågor bjuder Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten in till en internationell workshop inom ramen för Forum on Stakeholder Confidence´s arbete (FSC) (https://www.oecd-nea.org/jcms/pl_26865/forum-on-stakeholder-confidence-…). FSC är en internationell arbetsgrupp under OECD/NEA som arbetar med frågor om deltagande.
Workshopen syftar till att diskutera och utveckla strategier för att upprätthålla och öka allmänhetens förtroende under den nya fasen när slutförvaret ska byggas.
Tid: 23 - 24 september
Mötet den 24 september arrangeras av Östhammars kommun
Plats: Strålsäkerhetsmyndighetens kontor i Solna (23 september)
Lokal i Östhammar (24 september)
