The Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) is applying for permission to construct a deep storage facility at Nördlich Lägern, a significant step in managing nuclear waste. The facility is slated to hold low, medium, and high-level radioactive waste, with construction expected to begin in 2045. However, public resistance continues, particularly from local groups opposed to the project. A decision from the government is expected in 2029, and potential public referendums could further delay proceedings, possibly extending the timeline to 2031 or beyond.
