4 septembre 2022 : Lieu d'enfouissement des déchets radioactifs suisses
La Société coopérative nationale pour le stockage des déchets radioactifs (Nagra) a communiqué le nom du site qu'elle propose pour abriter un dépôt. Sur la base des nombreuses investigations, elle a annoncé que le nord du Lägern, situé dans l'Unterland zurichois dans le nord de la Suisse, constituait le site le plus approprié. Alessio Ferrari, ingénieur en géotechnique à l'EPFL en parle au micro de la "RSI".
