As the Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) prepares to submit permission requests for a geological nuclear waste facility in Stadel, opposition mounts. Advocates urge that the Swiss population should vote on the controversial project, asserting that decisions affecting future generations must involve public input. Critics highlight concerns about safety, the lack of a backup plan, and potential environmental hazards. Nagra plans to begin construction in 2045, with waste storage slated to start in 2050. Authorities will review the submitted framework applications until spring 2025.
