The Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) is set to submit plans for a nuclear waste repository in Stadel, north of Zurich.

This proposal has sparked significant opposition, with critics demanding a mandatory public vote on the project.

Concerns center around the site's proximity to Zurich Airport and unresolved safety issues.

Opponents argue that the concept of a deep geological repository is outdated and question its long-term safety.

Despite assurances from researchers that the site can withstand future glacial movements, the debate continues, highlighting the complexities of nuclear waste management in Switzerland.
