Garoñako zentral nuklearra. Argazkia: PHOT.OK

This was announced last Tuesday by the Vice-Minister for Industry, Javi Zarraonandia, in the Environment Committee of the Basque Parliament.

At a hearing in Vitoria-Gasteiz, EH Bildu accused the Spanish Government of "lack of foresight", "not taking seriously the process of dismantling the most obsolete nuclear power plant in Europe" and "lack nuclear waste management plans". They also point to the responsibility of the Basque Government.

As explained, the last waste management tranche, in-depth geological collection, "has not yet been designed", so seasonal waste collection "could be prolonged by about 50 years or more". They also warn of the risk that the Garoña plant will become a "nuclear cemetery" in Burgos.

In view of this situation, EH Bildu will present a proposal in several institutions to seek "a definitive solution" to the management of nuclear waste in the Basque Country. It will also propose the creation of a monitoring table for the dismantling of the plant, with the aim of transferring "up-to-date information" to the surrounding villages and ensuring that it is carried out in a "correct and rapid" manner.

The official waste manager is the public company Enresa.
