Initially the extended consultations have mainly dealt with the scope of EIA. Preliminary<br />

scoping reports have been prepared as a basis for discussion. They deal with what the EIA<br />

work should cover and what investigations are planned as a basis for the EIS. Viewpoints and<br />

proposals that emerge will be taken into account in the planning of the continued EIA process.<br />

The intention is that final versions of the reports will be written during <strong>2004</strong>.<br />

In the subsequent investigation phase, results from investigations and studies as well as<br />

proposals for facility design are presented at the consultation meetings, and the participants<br />

are given an opportunity to state their views. This phase continues for as long as investigations,<br />

facility design work and studies are pursued, i.e. until the end of 2005 for the encapsulation<br />

plant and until 2008 for the deep repository. Figure 4 illustrates the interaction between <strong>SKB</strong><br />

and other parties in the consultation processes.<br />

When the necessary investigations have been completed, a preliminary EIS is compiled. Before<br />

the permit application is submitted, <strong>SKB</strong> intends to verify major conclusions with the concerned<br />

consultation parties. The consultation process is concluded when <strong>SKB</strong> submits permit applications<br />

with supporting EISs for licensing under the Nuclear Activities Act and the Environmental<br />

Code. A consultation report will be appended to each application. This report will contain a<br />

summary of the viewpoints offered and will tell how these viewpoints have been taken into<br />

consideration.<br />

In addition to the formal consultations, extensive information activities are aimed at municipalities,<br />

organizations and the public. These activities will continue to be pursued in parallel<br />

with the statutory consultation meetings.<br />
