1970
(48) MARS: Krister Wickman tillsatte närförläggningsutredningen. Bakgrunden var att Stockholms elverk i juli 1968 sökt tillstånd för ett kärnkraftvärmeverk vid Värtan. Utredningen skulle ta fram ett underlag som underlättade myndigheternas ställningstaganden till tillståndsärenden av detta slag. Utredningen var i princip positiv till närförläggning. När betänkandet (Ref. 56) kom i juni 1974 var emellertid det politiska läget för kärnenergin ett annat än då utredningen tillsattes drygt fyra år tidigare.

SOU 1974:56

The need for an investigation of safety questions arising in connection with the siting of nuclear power plants in and close to major population centres was brought into focus in 1968. The occasion was the application by the Electricity Supply Authority of Stockholm for permission to erect a nuclear combined power and district heating plant at Värtan which is located only a few kilometres from the central part of Stockholm. At that time, certain other projects involving nuclear combined heat and power plants on urban or near-urban sites were also being discussed.
