Nuclear Baltic Map

The Nuclear Baltic Map project is part of the Baltic Sea Infotour project.

See the preliminary map.

Nuclear Baltic Map Project

With the Baltic Sea Info Tour 2010 we focused on gathering information about nuclear issues around the Baltic Sea, images of these places and facilities, operators, critical groups, links and other resources to be used for the Nuclear Baltic Map. Now we will work on these materials to produce some brief introductions to these facilities and issues for the Nuclear Baltic Sea brochure ‒ this will be an important result of the infotour.

Texts

general issues

• radioactive contamination of the Baltic Sea
  • impacts of atomic bombs tests, Chernobyl accident, Sellafield, NPPs
  • nuclear transports across the sea -> risks of accidents of the ships, collisions with other transports of hazardous materials; low level radiation (without accidents) increasing health risks
    • depleted uranium waste transports, uranium transports, radioactive waste transports, fuel element transports
    • nuclear harbour in St. Petersburg and its extension
  • increase of risks through new uranium mining plans, new NPP developments around the sea + repository plans beneath the sea
• Aland in the shadow of nuclear power - (not enough)
• impacts of the radioactivity in the Baltic Sea to Denmark?
  • no nuclear facilities but most of the impacts...
• the (not only Baltic Sea-related) impacts of Chernobyl - (T has Russian text?)
• Uranium Mining around the Baltic Sea
  • history of uranium mining in Sweden and Finland
  • current run for uranium in Sweden and Finland
  • risks of uranium mining for concerned communities and environment

• Ågestavalsen NPP (Sweden)
  • NPP closed in 1974

• Soznovyj Bor (NPP site, waste burning & processing facilities)
  • it's the name of the town next to Leningrad NPP - shouldn't we use the title "Leningrad NPP" instead of the name of the city? (it seems the Russian activists usually call it "Leningrad NPP", too)

• Lebjazhye
  • what is it?

Repositories

• Onkalo (Finland)
  • final repository for HAW from Olkiluoto and Loviisa on the Olkiluoto NPP site
• final repository for LMAW at the Olkiluoto NPP site
• final repository at the Loviisa NPP site
  • for LMAW, and possible also for radioactive waste from decommissioning Loviisa and Olkiluoto NPP
• Radon (Latvia) - (nearly done)
  • closed repository?
• Lithuanian repositories (two sites) - (promised by Li)
• ZLN Lubmin (Germany)
  • interim storage at the Greifswald NPP site
• Clab repository (Sweden)
  • central Swedish interim repository for spent fuel elements (HAW) on the Oskarshamn NPP site
• final disposal site for LMAW at the Oskarshamn NPP site (Sweden)
• SFR Repository (Sweden)
  • final repository for LMAW from Swedish reactors

• Forsmark repository (Sweden)
  • proposed site for final disposal???

Uranium mining

• Ranua (Finland) - (nothing)
• Tervola uranium site (Finland)
• Ylitornio uranium site (Rovaniemi, Finland)
• Sokli mining site (Finland?)
• Nianfors - (maybe take article that's already there?)

Other sites

• ZAW Lubmin (dissemination)
• Vasteras Fuel Elements Factory (Sweden)
• Studsvik Nuclear Complex (Sweden)
  • e.g. several conditioning factories for radioactive materials
• Soznovyj Bor (waste burning & processing facilities)
  • also site of Leningrad NPP

Appendix

Lists of:

• proposed sites for uranium mining, exploration etc. in Finland and Sweden (and more?) as well as former mining and exploration projects in the area

Requirements for each facility page
