high-level radioactive waste issued by Nagra<br />
(National Co-operative for the Disposal of<br />
Radioactive Waste). This then provided conclusive<br />
evidence of the basic feasibility of<br />
permanent, safe disposal of all the nuclear<br />
waste in Switzerl<strong>and</strong>. In April 2008, the Federal<br />
Council approved the «Deep Geological<br />
Repository Plan», a l<strong>and</strong>-use-planning instrument<br />
which specifies the site selection<br />
procedure for deep geological repositories.<br />
