Out of curiosity, does Sweden have any nuclear power facilities?
And do you know if that form of storage requires vitrification of the waste products?
(Essentially turning them to glass so they cannot leach out of containment in the event of a breach)
We have three active nuclear powerplants, Ringhals, Forsmark and Oskarshamn.
We are currently decomissioning the powerplant Barsebäck, the Danes were less than happy about having two reactors close to their coast.
Forsmark is the only powerplant that still runs all their reactors, Oskarshamn only has one of three reactors running, and Ringhals has two active reactors out of four.

If you want more info about this type of a storage solution, look up Onkalo in Finland.
Thanks, that was interesting
Edit: For anyone interested, the technology is called KBS-3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBS-3
